Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium, minced garlic cloves
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium, diced roasted red bell pepper
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 10 leaves, chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add cherry tomatoes and roasted red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes start to break down and release their juices.
Add balsamic vinegar, chopped basil leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for another 5-8 minutes until it thickens to a spread-like consistency.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before transferring to a food processor or blender.
Pulse a few times until desired texture is reached. For a smooth spread, blend longer.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
