My friend Haidy serves these tomatoes as a side dish regularly. They're so garlic-y and so delicious. And also so easy to whip together. If you have fresh garlic, you can even mince it and freeze it, and then use it later for this recipe - and it works perfectly!
Some terribly minced garlic chunks there - but it's absolutely delicious!
Easy Garlic-Tomato Side
Slice and place on a plate or platter:
2 large tomatoes
In a bowl, mix together:
1 Tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
1 - 2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp minced fresh garlic
1/2 - 3/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt
Adjust flavor as desired - I sometimes add a bit of extra lemon or lime juice or olive oil.
Spread over the tomato slices. Let rest 10-15 minutes prior to serving. This just helps infuse the flavor a bit. It's delicious alongside the Meammar Egyptian rice or alongside a meal of chicken and rice. Enjoy!
I feel like if the kids are happy to grab multiple slices of tomatoes covered in fresh garlic, we have a winner of a side dish! A happy birthday girl there.
