Favorite Holiday Recipe - Marinated Blanched Garlic and Tomatoes

[Guest guest]

This is a must for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New

Years. Glad I found the recipe, I didn't have any

idea where Mom stuck it.

 

Marinated Blanched Garlic and Tomatoes

 

1 1/3 cup garlic cloves unpeeled

3 tbls white wine vinegar (any vinegar works really)

1 tbl. Dijon mustard

1/2 cup vegetable oil (I like walnut or avocado oil)

4 medium sized ripe tomatoes (I use heirlooms)

salt & pepper to taste

1 1/2 tbls chopped chives, parsley, cilantro, basil or

watercress

 

Boil a saucepan of water, when water rapidly boils

drop in the separated unpeeled garlic cloves. Boil

medium cloves about 3-4 mins. Large cloves 8-9

minutes. Test cloves by piercing, should be tender

firm. Pour into colander and drain, when cool to

touch, pinch tips of cloves between your thumb and

forefingers to squeeze garlic out of it's skin. They

pop right out.

In a 2 cup jar blend oil, vinegar, mustard and chopped

green garnish. Add the garlic cloves. Mix by shaking

the covered jar. Let this chill overnight.

To serve, line a serving plate with sliced tomatoes,

place some green garnish around the edges, spoon the

garlic around the center of the tomato slices, pour

the garlic marinade over the garlic and tomatoes and

place on the buffet table to enjoy along with your

meal. Salt and pepper as needed.

This has always been a favorite and I have been asked

for the recipe by every guest that's ever tasted it.
