Categories : Sauces, Low-fat
Serving size: 6 servings 3 md Vine-ripened tomatoes 2 c Tightly-packed basil 1/2 c Tightly-packed Italian -parsley 2 Cloves minced garlic 2 ts Balsamic vinegar 2 ts Fresh lemon juice Salt (to taste -- optional!) Freshly ground black pepper -(to taste) * Core the tomatoes and cut in half. Grill over very hot coals for only a few minutes to take some of the colour and flavour. (Use oven broiler if you don't have access to hot coals.) Remove from the grill and set aside to cool. * Place basil, parsley, and garlic in a food processor. Process until smooth. Add the tomato, vinegar, and lemon juice and process. Season with the salt and pepper to taste. (I always leave out the salt and go heavy on the black pepper) -----
