Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 small garlic cloves, thinly sliced lengthwise

2 pounds heirloom tomatoes (any combination), halved, or quartered if large

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

1/2 bunch chives, cut into 1-inch pieces (1/4 cup)

1/4 cup fresh basil, leaves torn if large

Preparation

Heat oil and garlic in a small saute pan over medium-low heat. Cook until garlic is golden, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and let cool for 10 minutes.

Arrange tomatoes on a serving platter, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the garlic oil, and sprinkle with chives and basil just before serving.
