7 ripe tomatoes, sliced
1 pkg. or 1 c. sweet basil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
Olive oil and black pepper to taste

Arrange tomatoes on a platter. Mix oil, pepper, and garlic. Sprinkle basil over tomatoes. Drizzle oil mixture over top until each one is coated. Let set for about 1 hour to marinate. Can also use oregano instead of sweet basil or you can use both. Serves 12 to 15 people.
