Grilled Green Tomatoes

Cook the tomatoes to the texture that you like. I don't like them too soft. We usually grill them to where they still hold their shape and not falling apart. How thick you cut your tomatoes will determine how long they will cook

Add green tomatoes slices to bowl and evenly coat all the slices with the marinade.
Grill each side of the tomato until your desired texture (about 2-4 minutes on each side). How thick you slice your tomato will determine how long it cooks.

I have never eaten green tomatoes. This recipe is so good!! I wish I had more to cook.

This recipe was delicious! Instead of tossing the tomatoes with the sauce I brushed the marinade on each one so that none of it went to waste. I then broiled them on high for about 20 minutes (I used a breville toaster oven) and they were so good. Definitely recommend and will be making again!
