Pomodori con l'Uva (Tomatoes with Grape Juice)
- 1 small bunch dark grapes (about 1 cup)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, if needed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 6 firm but almost ripe tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick
- Olive oil, as needed
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- Puree the grapes in a blender, then strain the juices into a bowl.
- Season with balsamic vinegar if the grapes are too sweet.
- Combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and rosemary on a plate, mixing well.
- Dip the tomato slices into the mixture, coating on both sides.
- Pour a little olive oil into a large nonstick frying pan, just enough to create a film on the bottom.
- Add the garlic and place over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the tomato slices and cook, turning once, until golden on both sides, about 6 minutes total.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and using a spatula, transfer to a serving plate.
- Pour the grape juices over hot tomatoes.
- Serve at once.
- Note: You can make this with unripened tomatoes, too.
