Bon A Petite!
Fried Tomatoes with Garlic
Source: Lior's Kitchen Talk
This is served in Palestine and Jordan.
4 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 small hot pepper, very finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons oil
2 large, firm tomatoes, thickly sliced
Thoroughly mix the garlic with the pepper, salt, and hot pepper; then stir in the parsley and set aside.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the tomato slices and cook for about a minute on one side; then turn and sprinkle slices with the garlic, hot pepper, and parsley mixture. Continue to cook for another minute, shaking the pan occasionally; then turn the slices again and cook until they are done, but not mushy. Slide the tomato slices onto a plate, and serve immediately.
NOTE: Do not try to cook more than two servings at a time or the tomatoes will end up overcooked.
This type of tomato appetizer is great scooped up onto Arabic bread.
