PUBLIC MARKS with tags grilling & tomatoes

I know you're thinking that grilling tomatoes sounds at the very best a little strange. Grilling a tomato does so much for the flavor. You simply have to try it to understand. In fact, try this: Take a tomato, cut it in half, and sprinkle with salt and pepper, grill, cut side down for about 5 minutes. Now, take a bit. The flavor of the tomato becomes intensified by grilling it. You also get a great flavor from the browning of the tomato. Since tomatoes are naturally high in sugar the grill caramelizes those sugars and gives the tomato some really great flavor.
