40 minutes

Italian-style marinated tomatoes are a vibrant and aromatic dish inspired by Mediterranean culinary traditions. Italians love to use simple yet rich flavors, and this recipe is a testament to that. The combination of ripe tomatoes with fragrant herbs, garlic, and spicy seasonings gives the appetizer freshness and zest. Apple cider vinegar and French mustard add depth of flavor, creating the perfect balance of sour and spicy. Marinated tomatoes complement meat and fish dishes beautifully, can serve as a standalone appetizer or refresh the taste of a summer salad. They are ideal for a warm dinner with a glass of wine or a friendly gathering where everyone can enjoy the true flavors of Italy.
