Grilled tomatoes make great side dishes.
Nothing beats the flavor of a tomato plucked right off the vine, you say? Perhaps you haven't tried a grilled tomato. A tomato cooked over high heat on the grill is sweet and smoky. They're also excellent to use in pasta sauces, salsas or simply topped with cheese and popped right in your mouth. Tomatoes with thick skin, like the plum variety, work best for grilling.
