The flavor of perfectly ripe tomatoes is brought out by broiling and garnished with an easy pesto. This is the ideal appetizer for a late summer shindig. Look for local tomatoes for the freshest flavor.
Tip: Tomatoes ripen towards the end of grilling season. If you have a grill pan, you can also make these on the grill.
