Grilled green tomatoes:

Prepare green tomatoes: Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut a thin slice at the top and the lower part of each tomato so that you will not have any rounded slices. Slice the tomatoes, about 0.25 cm/ ¼ inch thick. 3-4 tomatoes
Dressing: Combine the olive oil, grated garlic cloves, chili flakes, and salt and pepper in a bowl.2 tablespoon oil + 2 garlic cloves + ¼ chili flakes + salt and pepper
Marinate tomatoes (optional): Add the tomato slices and stir well to coat. If you have the time, you can marinate the tomatoes for 15 to 30 minutes, but it is not mandatory.
Heat a grill pan on medium heat. Add the tomato slices to the pan. If there is some leftover marinade in the bowl, reserve it.
Grill the tomatoes for about 3 minutes on one side. Flip using tongs and grill for a further 2-3 minutes on the other side. They should have nice char marks and become softer, but not be too soft or mushy. They should still hold their shape.
Place the grilled tomatoes on a serving plate and pour the reserved marinade on top.

Sauce:

Make the sauce: Finely chop the red onion. Place it in a small bowl. Add the Greek yogurt, mustard, 1 teaspoon of honey, vinegar, paprika powder, salt and pepper, and most of the chives.
