Prep time: Italy Italian
  Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 3 or 4 large tomatoes, sliced 1/4" to 3/8" thick
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste
  • 1/3 cup chopped onions or sliced scallions
  • Garlic powder to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or more to taste
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In bottom of a square or rectangular glass baking dish (such as Pyrex or Corningware) drizzle a small amount vinegar and olive oil and swirl pan bottom to coat.
  2. Arrange 1 layer of tomato slices close together and flat on top. Drizzle about a teaspoon of the measured vinegar and 2 teaspoons of the measured olive oil on top of the tomato layer (remember this is to your taste, so drizzle accordingly!)
  3. Sprinkle this tomato layer with a proportional amount of onions, then garlic powder, Italian seasoning and freshly ground pepper.
  4. Repeat layers in this manner (depending on baking dish size and amount of sliced tomatoes, you should have at least 2 and perhaps 3 layers of tomato slices, and ending with the drizzle of olive oil, vinegar and seasonings). Cover serving dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to marinate before serving.
  5. (4 large tomatoes should make enough for 6 side servings, about 3 slices each.)
