Beautiful Broiled Tomatoes
Simple and easy, broiled tomatoes are a delicious accompaniment to any meat dish. --
I will admit to not being able to get too excited about tomatoes during the winter
when supermarket tomatoes are pale and mealy and tasteless. But come summertime when those
big gorgeous tomatoes start showing up in gardens, farmers' markets, produce
stands and, yes, even supermarkets, I can't think of enough ways to eat them.
