Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Fresh tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons Cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Set them aside.
Finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat for about 30 seconds.
Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for 15-20 seconds, stirring to avoid burning. You'll know they're ready when they release a fragrant aroma.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until softened and lightly golden.
Toss in the diced tomatoes. Stir well to coat the tomatoes in the cumin and garlic-infused oil.
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and release their juices but still hold their shape.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the cumin-rich tomatoes to a serving dish.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a pop of color and a hint of freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish, or pair with crusty bread for a quick and satisfying snack.
