Ingredients

A liberal amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

8 - 10 fresh garlic cloves

6 - 8 large, fresh tomatoes

Fresh Basil

Fresh Oregano - preferably Greek (the scent is out of this world)

Fresh Thyme

Juice of one large lemon

1/4 - 1/2 cup of good red wine

Ground sea salt or steak seasoning - to taste.

Directions

Wash tomatoes thoroughly in clear water.

Quarter tomatoes. Leave skins on.

Pick up each tomato quarter, hold over sink, and squeeze water out with both hands (Be careful - if you're not careful, you can wind up with tomatoes flying across the room! I speak from experience, unfortunately).

Crush and chop garlic cloves.

Squeeze and seed lemon.

Add all ingredients, including wine, to large bowl.

Add seasonings (salt or peppery steak seasoning - your preference).

Mix ingedients until all tomatoes are covered in the mixture of oil, garlic, wine, and lemon juice.

Lay all tomato quarters, skin side up, in a shallow roasting pan.

Tuck stems of herbs under tomato quarters (tomatoes should completely cover herbs and there should be herbs under each tomato quarter)

Broil for 6-8 minutes or until skins of tomatoes start to turn black.

Remove pan from oven.

Using a fork, remove skins (very hot - be careful!) and discard.

Put tomatoes back in oven and broil for another 14-18 minutes.

Remove pan from oven. Place in bowl.

Stir. Sprinkle your favorite grating cheese on top. Serve.

Oh yeah - for you southerners out there:
Try adding Louisiana Hot Sauce to the finished product. It adds just the right hot and spicy note.
