Sautéed Cherry Tomatoes

Serves 4

This recipe for sautéed tomatoes is a quick, easy and healthy side dish. Use any type of cherry or grape tomato you can get or prefer, as there are many varieties available. The smaller, bite-sized tomatoes are best since you want to cook them whole. Serve this for a busy weeknight, special occasion or elegant entertaining. For an equally delicious dish, see the Roasted Grape Tomatoes with Garlic and Basil in the similar and related recipes.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 quarts cherry or grape tomatoes, rinsed and dried
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup shredded fresh basil (see notes below)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Heat a medium skillet over high heat. Add the oil and heat. Add the tomatoes and sauté just until they start to pop, about 3 minutes depending on the size of the tomatoes. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, basil and optional Parmesan cheese; toss lightly. If desired, drizzle with additional olive oil. Serve immediately as is or on a bed of baby salad greens.

Notes: Basil is an herb that bruises easily. It is best not to chop it when it will be used as an uncooked garnish. To shred, called a chiffonade, stack the leaves, gently roll them into a cigar shape and slice very thinly in one direction.
