Blistered Cherry Tomatoes

Blistered cherry tomatoes are like little balls of intense flavour that not only add a beautiful colour to a dish, but amp up the flavours too. They're incredibly quick and easy to whip up, and you can use tomatoes that are going a bit soft for this too.

Ingredients:

Makes approximately 1 cup.

• 1 cup fresh cherry tomatoes
• Drizzle of oil for frying
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 2 or 3 sprigs of fresh thyme (or herbs of your choice)
• 2 or 3 sprigs of fresh basil, chopped
• Salt and pepper

Method:

• Heat a little oil in a fry pan to medium high heat. (Make sure its hot before adding the cherry tomatoes.) 
• Leave them undisturbed for a couple of minutes to blister.
• Add the fresh thyme leaves and crushed garlic.
• Season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally for another couple of minutes.
• Finish with some chopped fresh basil leaves.
• Add to your breakfast for an extra burst of flavour. They are also delicious with steak or even on a lunch board too.
