How to cook deliciously - Grilled Tomatoes

1. Stage

In a blender, blend anchovies, Parmesan, tahini, water, lemon juice, and black pepper until smooth. If dressing is too thick, add 1 tsp. water at a time until desired consistency is reached.

2. Stage

Transfer dressing to a small bowl or airtight container; season to taste with salt. Chill until ready to use.

3. Stage

Make Ahead: Dressing can be made 5 days ahead. Keep chilled.

4. Stage

Remove upper core and stem from each tomato. Slice tomatoes in half horizontally and transfer to a large bowl.

5. Stage

Drizzle oil over tomatoes; season with oregano and a few good pinches of salt and grinds of black pepper. Toss tomatoes to coat and let sit 10 minutes. This will leach some liquid and allow seasoning to seep into tomatoes.

6. Stage

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat (between 400° and 450°). Grill tomatoes cut side down until charred and beginning to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Flip and continue to grill until tomatoes are tender but not falling apart, 5 to 7 minutes more.

7. Stage

Transfer tomatoes to a platter. Top with tahini-Caesar dressing, parsley, and Parmesan.
