Charred Tomato Relish

In-season tomatoes are a real treat,
throw them on a grill for better taste.
This is a good relish I put together.

Ingredients:
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons grated peeled ginger
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, for grill
6 ripe plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (1 lime)
1 tablespoon minced fresh jalapeno pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped basil

Directions:
Heat grill to hot; lightly oil grates.
In a medium bowl toss plum tomatoes with
remaining tablespoon oil;
season with salt and pepper.
Grill tomatoes, cut side up,
until skins are charred and flesh is tender,
4 to 6 minutes for the plum tomatoes.
When tomatoes are cool enough to handle,
remove and discard skins and seeds.
Finely chop flesh and add to bowl
with reserved garlic-ginger mixture.
Add lime juice, jalapeno, sugar,
cilantro, and basil.
