I have no idea what this recipe is called but the hubby and I crave it at least once or twice a week! It comes from the kitchen of my BFF Elishia. She recently taught me how to make them when I was visiting her. They are to-die for and healthy! A great low carb side dish that you can fill your plate up with. These are so easy and quick to make. They also taste great with a little bit of blue cheese sprinkled on top but you have to be careful not to put too much because it takes away from the flavor of the tomatoes and their simple ingredients. We've had them both ways and prefer them w/out the blue cheese.
Ingredients:
1 entire container of cherry or grape tomatoes (you can use either but I prefer grape tomatoes because they are smaller by about 1/2 inch and easier)
about 1-2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon of fresh, minced garlic
1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (the amount here is preference so just eyeball it)
Directions:
In a medium pan, "infuse" the olive oil with garlic and red pepper. To do this you just let the olive oil heat up on low and then simmer with the garlic and red pepper flakes in it for about 10 minutes or so. Add your tomatoes and cook on medium-low for 15 minutes or until they are all popped. You can tell when they are ready by touching them with a fork to see if they are nice and soft.
As you can see, it's not a difficult recipe and you can really make it your own. Try it. You'll like it!
