   8                    ripe -- round tomatoes,
                        cored and halved
                        salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
   8                    garlic cloves -- pressed
     3/4  C.            freshly ground bread crumbs
                        a handful fresh -- flat leaf
                        parsley -- finely minced
   3      Tbsp.         extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange tomatoes cut side up in a
large baking dish. (Unless the tomatoes are exceptionally
watery, do not seed or drain them; they will better hold their
shape.) Season generously with salt and pepper. Slice the
garlic into thin chips and sprinkle over tomatoes. Combine
bread crumbs and parsley and scatter over tomatoes. Drizzle
with oil. Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour or until tomatoes are
soft, browned and sizzling. Serve immediately.
