Just like yesterday, here's another fast, easy, fresh vegetable that's perfect for a light lunch or weeknight supper.

This, in fact, may well be the very fastest recipe in the five months of the Veggie Venture!

Credit where credit's due: Tonight's tomatoes were inspired by Cookie from Secrets from My Kitchen. Many thanks!

BROILED TOMATOES with OREGANO
Time to table: 10 minutes
Serves 4

2 large tomatoes
2 - 3 cloves garlic
4 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped
Olive oil (tonight, from a mister)
Salt & pepper

Preheat the broiler. Wash and halve the tomatoes crosswise and place on a rimmed baking sheet (a 9 inch cake pan worked great tonight). Cut the garlic into slivers and insert into the meat of the tomatoes. Sprinkle with oregano. Spray a light mist of olive oil on the tomatoes. Broil for 3 - 5 minutes until the garlic begins to brown and the tomatoes are warmed through but still firm. Serve immediately.

ALANNA's TIPS

• Use a mister whenever you want just a touch of oil -- great for calorie counters.
