Try this side with trout or lamb chops, then apple upside-down cake.
Ingredients
2 large tomatoes (preferably beefsteak), sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 cups coarse fresh bread crumbs from a baguette
1/3 cup grated parmesan
Directions
Preheat oven to 500°F.
Arrange tomato slices, slightly overlapping, in an oiled 9-inch gratin dish or shallow casserole. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with basil.
Cook garlic in oil in a small skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in bread crumbs, cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle over tomatoes.
Bake in middle of oven until crumbs are golden, about 15 minutes.
