Ingredients

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

1 small garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

3 green tomatoes

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preparation

Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. In a food processor, combine mayonnaise, basil, garlic, and lemon juice, and process until basil is finely chopped and sauce is smooth (add 1 to 2 teaspoons water if needed). Cut green tomatoes into 1/2-inch-thick slices, brush with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly charred and softened, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter and spoon sauce over top.
