Ingredients

• 4 pieces large ripe tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 0.5 cups fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Slice each tomato in half horizontally. Brush the cut sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

Place the tomatoes cut-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 4 minutes until grill marks form and the tomatoes are slightly softened.

Step 5

Carefully flip the tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, being mindful not to overcook them.

Step 6

Transfer the grilled tomatoes to a serving platter, cut-side up.

Step 7

Spoon the gremolada mixture over the grilled tomatoes, evenly distributing it across all the halves.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the gremolada-topped tomatoes for added flavor.
