Grilled Green Tomatoes with a Basil Butter
Recipe: #6700
October 05, 2012
"For those of you who LOVE 'Fried Green Tomatoes,' but hates the 'FRIED' part of it ... this is a nice alternative. This recipe still uses butter; but, it is much lighter than the fried version. And, you don't necessarily need to use an outdoor grill for this recipe; but, I love the flavor the grill creates in this recipe. An indoor grill pan or even a saute pan will work just fine. This is a great side dish; but, you can also serve these over a bed a greens for a great salad."
