Total Time: 25 minutes | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes | Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 MightyVine® Beefsteak Tomatoes, sliced & halved
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • ½ scotch bonnet pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • ⅓ cup green olives, pitted & chopped
  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp thyme leaves
  • 2 tsp red wine vinegar
  • Salt, to taste

 

Directions

Step 1

Place a wire rack onto a rimmed baking sheet. Set tomatoes on the rack, sprinkling with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium-low heat, cook garlic, pepper, and oil for about 2 minutes, stirring until fragrant.

Step 3

Add tomatoes one at a time into the skillet, ensuring they are snug and close together, slightly overlapping.

Step 4

Next, scatter olives across the skillet, cover, and cook for 2 minutes. Uncover, and sprinkle with thyme. Cover again and cook until tomatoes are warmed but not breaking, about 4 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat and carefully transfer on a platter by gently pouring the contents.

Step 6

Drizzle with vinegar and top with feta. Serve with baguette, if desired.
