Marinated Tomatoes
This elegant and tasty dish adds a wonderful aroma to any meal and a bit of color as well; use it to top baked potatoes filled with sour cream, serve it along side a plain free range beef filet, or grilled filet of fish.

2 beefsteak tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Cut the tomatoes into quarters.
Using a small sharp knife, carefully remove and discard the core, pulp, and seeds.
Cut the tomatoes into small dice and place in a small mixing bowl.
Add the garlic, parsley, and oregano, tossing to blend.
Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
