Tomatoes Broiled, Hot Mayonnaise Sauce

Tomates Grillees, a la Sauce Mayonnaise Chaude

Throw some sound tomatoes in boiling water to remove the skin; cut them across in two, season with salt and pour oil over. Place them on a hinged double broiler and broil on a show fire, basting frequently with oil. Dress them on a hot dish and cover with hot mayonnaise sauce (No. 433). The mayonnaise sauce may be served separately if desired.

Tomatoes are frequently served broiled without any sauce, simply cooked as above.
