Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons tequila
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons cracked black pepper
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
Instructions
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. Set them aside in a mixing bowl.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Chop the jalapeño finely, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat. Add both to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, tequila, lime juice, sea salt, and cracked black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the tomatoes and gently toss until well coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the dressed tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the tomatoes begin to soften slightly and the mixture becomes aromatic.
Remove from heat and transfer the warm tomato and tequila mixture to a serving dish.
Serve immediately as an appetizer, alongside crusty bread or tortilla chips, and enjoy!
