Ingredients
- 1 pound Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and dry the cherry tomatoes. Ensure they are fully dry to prevent splattering when cooking.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and chop them finely.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Step 4
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet in a single layer and allow them to cook for about 2-3 minutes without stirring, until they start to char.
Step 5
Gently stir the tomatoes, then add the chopped garlic. Continue to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are evenly charred and start to blister.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and immediately add the balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and coat the tomatoes.
Step 7
Chiffonade or tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the warm tomatoes.
Step 8
Transfer the charred tomatoes to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish or topping for salads, grilled proteins, or roasted vegetables.
