Incredibly tasty, and this fresh tomato recipe couldn't be easier to pull together - your tomato-based side dish could be hearty enough to use as a main dish if you prefer.  Considering our team's hefty appetites, we like to pair this with a lovely fresh buffalo-milk mozzarella or a juicy cut of bistecca alla Fiorentina, the infamous Florentine t-steak - an incredible meal to celebrate special moments or just casual every-day meals.  If you're not up to making a whole grilled T-bone steak, try pairing these tomatoes with Mamablip's Rolled Veal with Ham and Cheese, or a tasty Veal Saltimbocca entrèe.  Don't overlook the fish option:  have you thought about the perfect pairing that are roasted tomatoes and Creamed Cod with Polenta?

But be sure you share the love with your family and friends - meals like this are perfect for sharing and caring together.

We adore this super-quick way tomato recipe that brings out the best of our beloved tomatoes, and we're sure you'll also find them incredibly tasty prepared following this method.

Juicy, zesty tomatoes

There are never too many ways to enjoy tomatoes, and after making this, I've found another new way to love them. Garlic, lemon and succulent tomato juice - what else can you ask for?!
