Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. large yellow tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp chopped shallot
  • 3/4 tsp salt, divided
  • 3 medium limes

Directions

  1. Grill tomatoes, uncovered, on an oiled rack over high heat until skin is slightly charred, 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and cool to room temp.

  2. Meanwhile, combine oil, garlic, shallot and 1/4 tsp salt. When tomatoes are cool enough to handle, finely chop; stir in garlic mixture until well combined.
