Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes and cut them into thick slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add the olive oil and let it warm up for about 30 seconds.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes into the skillet and stir for another 30 seconds to infuse the oil with spice.
Lay the tomato slices in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side without moving them, to get a slight sear.
Flip the tomato slices gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Drizzle the apple cider vinegar and honey over the tomatoes, and carefully shake the skillet to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the tomatoes, then add the chopped fresh basil. Toss gently to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the tomatoes rest for 1-2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serve warm as a side dish or spoon over crusty bread for a quick appetizer.
