Personal
Notes: The longer you broil the Tomato's the richer they taste, just don' let them burn. Stir & turn often while broiling, it helps infuse the flavor into the Olive oil, Lower your rack if they seem to want to burn to fast.
Optional: Add a teaspoon of dried red pepper flakes to the tomato mixture before broiling to make a spicier dish.
Good paired with Italian Sausage for Non Vegans Don' forget to enjoy with a nice Red or Chianti!
