Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh seedless grapes (red or green)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Flaky sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until it is very hot.
Wash and dry the grapes, then remove them from the stems. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they caramelize properly.
In a large bowl, toss the grapes with olive oil to coat them evenly.
Carefully add the grapes to the hot skillet in a single layer. Be cautious, as the oil may splatter.
Allow the grapes to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the skins start to blister and blacken slightly. You might hear the grapes popping as they release juices.
Gently toss or stir the grapes with a spatula, ensuring all sides are evenly cooked. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the grapes are softened and caramelized, with a lightly smoky aroma.
Remove from heat and season with flaky sea salt and black pepper. If desired, add fresh thyme for a subtle herbal note and drizzle with honey for extra sweetness.
Serve warm as an appetizer, salad topping, or side dish. These can also be paired with goat cheese, ricotta, or roasted meats for a more substantial dish.
