Let me start by saying that Paula is easily one of my favorite cooks and I make alot of her recipes and love them! However, this one was just ok. I made it for a group of people as a side dish for a barbeque and it was the only bowl left at the end of the night with food still in it.

I've taken this recipe twice to church functions. It's excellent because it stays at room temperature. I was asked to bring it on the second occasion and several women asked for the recipe. I have saved the marinade in the refrigerator and added new tomatoes a few days later. It was just as good the second time.

I have to agree with the reviewer earlier who felt that the acidity of this recipe was a bit much. I also felt that there was far too much marinade for the amount of tomatoes called for. I may try this again, but will definitely make a few adjustments.

I have made this recipe several times and it always is a big hit. I have used the best tomatoes that are in the store as well as the worst, the celephone package kind and it's always good. If I am using it that day I do not refrigerate the tomatoes because refrigeration changes the flavor. I have given the recipe to several friends all of whom have enjoyed the tomatoes.

These marinated tomatoes were so delicious I almost ate the whole bowl myself. I was craving the leftovers the next day. I did use olive oil and added minced garlic. I might try fresh thyme the next time just because I like the texture better than dry. I used big fat garden tomatoes and they were really good and ripe. I just need to figure out what to do with all the leftover marinade. Maybe add some more tomatoes!!




Super start but....

User: PETER from Sturgeon Bay, WI    User Rating:
Delicious result! I substituted balsamic vinegar for the red wine, oregano for thyme, and olive oil for cooking oil. I used very firm Roma tomatoes, but after marinating for 2 hours, they were fairly mushy; I'd suggest marinating for no more than 45 minutes, as vinegar tends to "cook" things without heat. Taste is 5 star, but the slight "mushiness" ran me down to 4.

I was stuck with "store" tomatoes since I missed the local Farmers Market this weekend and the recipe did perk them up a lot. What is nice about this recipe is that nearly everyone has the seasonings in their cupboard. Just need the fresh ingredients, which are readily available. Hint - if tomatoes are not in season the little cherry ones from a store probably have the best flavor I too used olive oil.

This wasn't a bad recipe, but with garden fresh tomatoes in season, I wouldn't bother. The seasonings were nice but the acidity of the vinegar with tomatoes was a bit much for my taste. I might try it again in the winter with hothouse tomatoes OR cut the oil and vinegar in half.

I love homegrown tomatoes but due to personal reasons I was unable to have a garden this summer for the first time in years. My husband knew how disappointed I was so he was sweet enough to bring me home a bunch of tomatoes. Unfortunately they were the hard orange kind from the supermarket. I remembered Paula's claim that this recipe could even make those good so I put it to the test. Boy, was she right! Even those horrible tomatoes were delicious in this recipe. I had to substitue a thinly sliced sweet onion for green and left out thyme due to personal preference but it was still yummy! Thanks, Paula. You allowed me to use those tomatoes and spared my good meaning husband's feelings!

This recipe travels well, is a great use of my garden tomatoes and is absolutely delicious - recipes come and go in my house - this one has already become a favorite. I have made it at least 6 or 7 time this summer. I have served it as an appetizer course with toasted slices of a roasted garlic bread - it disappeared in a matter of minutes and my guest were using the bread to finish off the remaining juice. Kudos Paula - another great recipe.

This is the most delicious marinate for tomatoes I have ever tried. My family loved it so much that I had to make it over and over again. That is something I am not use to, especially for tomatoes. And it is so easy to make. This is also good for marinating red onions or putting it over your green salad for a salad dressing.

My mother-in-law, an avid fan of FOOD NETWORK and of Paula Dean, intoruduced us to this recipe, and I am so glad she did. The marinated tomatoes were a huge hit at a recent family gathering. ... Because it was hot, this dish made a nice, light, and very tasty side dish that complimemts just about any other fare being served. I am sure this recipe would work just fine with store bought tomatoes, but it seems as though our fresh tomato season is so short here in New England, that it's a real treat to be able to find recipes that enhance their natural flavor, and gives us more opportunities to enjoy these yummy fruits. Thank you Paula for continuing to give us tasty and simple recipes for the real foods that we all love to eat!!

I usually don't like to eat tomatoes by themselves, but i had a bag of coctail tomatoes leftover from another recipe and i didn't want to waste them. This marinade was very good and the only time i've enjoyed tomatoes alone. I wonder if you'd get just as good of a result if you substituted the veg oil for oliver oil for a healthier alternative?

Paula is right. This recipe can even make winter tomatoes taste like something. Other than tweaking to personal taste and what's available in the fridge, I do have one issue that is a constant with Paula. I know over-the-top fat is her trademark, but the oil in this recipe is just too much. I use enough to dress, then add the rest of the ingredients according to personal preference. Try it with cukes and red onions. Great with grilled meat.

My husband loves this recipe! I have made it several times and sometimes use the leftover sauce wine/oil mixture on other vegetables. It's great!

I made the Marinated Tomatoes as a salad for a bar-b-que potluck, and it recieved rave reviews. The recipe has been requested several times. The plus side for making this recipe is that it was extremely easy to make and walk away until it was time to serve. Yum!




AWESOME

WOW! How lucky am I that when I searched for marinated vegetables this recipe came in on top! Fantastic! I substituted Olive oil for the veg. oil - I also used 1/2 & 1/2 balsamic/redwine for the vinegars & 1/2 and 1/2 oregano/basil for the thyme - our preference - I also added fresh garlic and onion powder - TO DIE FOR!! Used tomatoes/cukes/orange peppers - WILL USE AGAIN AND AGAIN - THANKS PAULA!

Way too oily!

This recipe has great potential--the flavors are good, but the 3/4 cup of oil called for is insane. I repeat, insane. I used a half cup and the tomatoes were still too oily. I also ended up discarding quite a bit of marinade. Next time, I'm going to use 1/4 c. oil and decrease the vinegar as well.




YUM!

This recipe really does make even so-so tomatoes taste good but when you make it with ripe tomatoes it is out of this world! Made a double batch on family vacation last year and there wasn't any left. Can't wait for tomato season to get here!




Add some cukes!

This is a wondeful and versitile recipe. Yes, it's a good bit of marinade-so cut up some crispy cucumbers to toss with the tomatoes! I also used balsamic in place of the red wine vinegar. Great results.




YUMMY

I made these and kept them in a zip-lock bag in the fridge for several days, then I added them to fresh salads and used the marinade as a dressing. It was great with a little feta cheese and home-made croutons!

I made this recipe with basil instead of thyme (I am not a thyme fan) and it was delicious! The tomatoes were so juicy and tasty. And talk about EASY. I made it in the afternoon and just stuck it in the fridge to marinate until dinner. I served them with barbequed ribs... perfect.




A HUGE HIT

Wow! Quick, easy, and delicious. This marinade makes even store-bought, hot- house tomatoes taste good. I also made it with cherry tomatoes and it too was very good. I can't wait for summer to try this recipe with my own home-grown tomatoes.




Yummy!

I substituted balsamic vinegar for the red wine vinegar and I also reduced the amount of the liquid ingrediants so as not to over-saturate the tomato wedges. I got rave reviews from my tomato-loving family on this dish. It's also very quick and easy, which I like! I will make this again.




Awesome !

Even a teenage guest who had limited experience with foods (other than Mexican food) really loved this one. Thankfully this teen is open to new food experiences and he was surprised at how good it was.




You say tomato, I say delicious!

This recipe is definitely a keeper! After a few trials, I substituted olive oil for the amount of red wine vinegar and cut the tomatoes into small, cube-ish pieces to make a bruschetta-like dish.

This is so simple and so good. I've actually played with it a little and have found that adding thinly sliced red onion is a wonderful addition. Balsamic canalso be substituted, but I think the red wine vinegar is actually better.




tasty!

These tomatoes were great! I look forward to making them again, and bringing them to a bbq or potluck to show off. My hubby who usually doesnt like vinegar based dishes, loved them. I drained them before I served them. A delicious easy and pretty dish!

We make these tomatoes for every family gathering. It is a must have in our family. I hate tomatoes but these are too bad. My husband makes them & it like to use vine ripened tomatoes. He thinks they have a beeter taste. He also like to cut them into slices. I can't remember if the recipe says fresh parsley but using frech parsley gives them a better taste.
