Marinated Tomatoes Recipe

Ingredients

• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup apple-cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or other sugar
• 1 tablespoon sea salt

• 2 red bell peppers, seeds removed and roughly chopped
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and roughly chopped
• 1 garlic head, separated into cloves, peeled, and roughly chopped
• 2 pounds of ripe summer tomatoes, quartered or cut into 8 wedges, if large
• 1 cup of fresh dill and parsley, finely chopped

1. Whisk all the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined and set aside. Combine bell peppers, jalapeno, and garlic in a food processor, and pulse to chop into small pieces. In a glass or ceramic dish, arrange vegetables in layers; tomato slices, followed by chopped pepper mixture, then herbs. Pour the marinade over, cover, and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
2. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 5 days before serving. The taste will improve further after a day or two of marinating. For best flavor, take the tomatoes out of the refrigerator and serve at room temperature.
