Ingredients
- 500 grams cherry tomatoes
- 30 grams fresh parsley
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons bread crumbs (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Set them aside.
Step 2
Finely chop the fresh parsley and garlic cloves. Combine them in a small bowl to make the persillade mixture.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Step 5
Lower the heat slightly and stir in the persillade mixture, along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, to gently toast the garlic and blend the flavors.
Step 6
Add salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to the skillet, and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 7
If using bread crumbs, sprinkle them evenly over the tomatoes and cook for an additional minute for light toasting.
