TOMATES à LA PROVENçALE

Steps:

• Set a strainer in a bowl, and carefully squeeze the juice and the seeds out of the tomatoes, letting the juice drop into the bowl and reserving it. Discard the seeds. Season the cut sides of the tomatoes with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet. When very hot and beginning to smoke, carefully place the tomatoes, skin side down, in the oil. You may have to do this in batches so as not to crowd the pan. The tomatoes should not be touching. Sear until the skin starts to brown, about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the sugar over the cut sides, and flip, continuing to cook over high heat. When the tomatoes are caramelized and beginning to turn very dark, remove to a serving plate, and sprinkle the garlic and parsley over the top.
• Pour the reserved tomato juice into the pan, and reduce by half. Pour the reduced juice over the tomatoes, and serve warm or at room temperature.

PROVENCAL TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the cores from the tomatoes, removing as little as possible. Cut them in half crosswise and, with your fingers, remove the seeds and juice. Place the tomato halves in a baking dish.
• In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, scallions, basil, parsley, garlic, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle the tomato halves generously with salt and pepper. With your hands, fill the cavities and cover the tops of the tomatoes with the bread crumb mixture. Bake the tomatoes for 15 minutes, or until they're tender. Sprinkle with the cheese, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 30 seconds more. Serve hot or at room temperature.
