Servings: 4
Author Notes: Here's an elegant side dish that puts all those extra green tomatoes you have to use. Greek style feta or French style chevres (both goat cheeses) work equally well here.

Ingredients: 4 medium green tomatoes
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano leaves
1 cup crumbled goat cheese (feta or chevre)
4 teaspoons olive oil
salt and coarsely ground fresh ground black pepper
Instructions: Cut tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices. Coat a shallow baking dish with oil. Place tomato slices, in a single, overlapping layer, in the bottom of the baking dish.

Sprinkle tomatoes with vinegar scatter minced oregano over tomato slices. Top with crumbled goat cheese and drizzle with olive oil.

Broil 5-8 inches below a preheated broiler and broil until tomatoes are hot and cheese is just starting to brown, about 7-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

A wonderful twist

I'm enjoying my first summer of home-grown tomatoes, and knew there must be something better to do with the green ones than simply bread and fry them.  This was a wonderful alternative.  I used fresh oregano (clipped moments before mincing) and a strong balsamic.  I cut them to abour 1/4 inch rather than 1/2 inch, and broiled them about 5-inches from the flame but, as the recipe suggests, I would do them for a little longer at 8 inches...long enough for the tomatoes to soften a little more without burning the goat cheese.  I imagine feta and/or other fresh herbs would be wonderful, as well (scallions or garlic and thyme?).
