Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups grape tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the grape tomatoes thoroughly. Halve them lengthwise and set them aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Roughly chop the fresh basil and parsley leaves.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the halved grape tomatoes to the skillet. Stir gently to coat them evenly with the garlic and oil.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the tomatoes. Stir to combine.
Cook the tomatoes for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly softened and just beginning to release their juices.
Remove the skillet from heat and toss in the chopped basil and parsley. Mix gently to combine.
Transfer the herbed grape tomatoes to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish or allow them to cool and use them as a topping for salads or pasta.
