   4                    firm fleshed but ripe tomatoes
   1      Clove         garlic and oil -- (1 to 2)
   1      Tbsp.         chopped fresh basil
                        salt and freshly ground black pepper to
                        taste
   1      Tsp.          chopped fresh rosemary
                        or 1 tsp. dried rosemary

The tomatoes for this recipe should not be peeled. Pare
into and around the stem end and discard the core. Slice each
tomato in half. Cut the garlic lengthwise into very thin
slivers. Make several small gashes into the cut portions of
the tomatoes and stash each gash with a sliver of garlic. Oil
a baking dish and arrange the tomatoes on it. Sprinkle the
tomatoes with salt and pepper. Liberally sprinkle the tomatoes
with oil, then sprinkle with rosemary. Place them under a
medium flame and let them cook gently until hot and bubbling
and edges of the tomatoes start to burn. Remove from baking
dish and let it stand until the tomatoes are cold. Sprinkle
the tomatoes with basil and serve cold.
