Ingredients

• 500 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Cut each cherry tomato in half and set aside.

Step 3

Peel and crush the garlic cloves using the flat side of a knife or a garlic press.

Step 4

In a large bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Step 6

Add the seasoned tomatoes to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space to char properly.

Step 7

Cook the tomatoes undisturbed for about 5 minutes or until the bottoms are deeply charred.

Step 8

Gently stir the tomatoes and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, allowing them to blister and char on other sides.

Step 9

Sprinkle fresh thyme over the tomatoes and cook for an additional minute, just until the thyme is fragrant.

Step 10

Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the charred tomatoes and give it a final stir to ensure all tomatoes are coated.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from heat and let the dish rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish or topping for grilled chicken, steak, or fish.
