This is my entry in the "Stuff On A Stick" contest, and as a topping for the "Pizza Contest". Please rate it or vote for it when the time comes!
Grilling tomatoes amplifies their flavor into some sort of Super Tomato. These are awesome as a side on their own and would be great on a white pizza or other tomato dishes. This is quick and easy and can be done with ingredients found in most kitchens. What you don't have you can probably substitute something else for it.
What you need:
Tomatoes - fresh garden tomatoes recommended. Haven't tried this with crummy hot-house tomatoes, but it may work.
Oil & Vinegar or Italian Dressing
Seasonings - whatever you like - oregano, season-all, or nothing
Grated Parmesan Cheese - or not
Sticks

Cut the tomato in half across it's width, not through the stem - see pic.
Scoop out the seeds and liquid bits with a small spoon. Leave the fleshy solid parts.
Add some seasoning. For this one I was using "Salad Supreme." Any of your favorites will work, or don't add anything if you're into the whole brevity thing.
Pour in some oil & vinegar or Italian Dressing. If you don't already know how to make oil & vinegar dressing, here's the basics - 3 parts oil, 1 part vinegar. Olive oil and red wine vinegar are our favorites, but you could get by with vegetable oil and white vinegar. Maybe even just oil. Main thing is you want it lubricated so it doesn't stick to the grill.
Speaking of the grill get that heated up. Medium to high heat should do.
And of course, put a stick in it. I put one tomato on each stick, but you could do a few. If you're concerned about the tomato spinning on the stick, you could use two, but this is the "Stuff on a Stick" contest, not the "Stuff on Two Sticks" contest!
