Cherry Tomato Almost-Sauce
Makes 1 quart
15 minutes preparation and cooking time
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 quart cherry tomatoes, whole or sliced in half if they are large
basil or other fresh herbs
Add the olive oil to a medium-sized sauce pan over medium heat. Add the whole cherry tomatoes and a dash or two of salt and turn the heat to high. Cook until the tomatoes begin to crack and blister but still retain most of their shape. This will take 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of the tomatoes.
Remove from the heat. Stir in the fresh herbs.
