Ingredients and Variations
Tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes are best fresh from the garden or farmer’s market, but are still available year-round in the supermarket. Multi-colored grape tomatoes will work and make for a striking presentation. If cherry or grape tomatoes aren’t available, use Romas since they are meatier and have thinner skins than other varieties.
Seasonings: Fresh basil and freshly minced garlic are mixed with olive oil and create a light sauce as the tomatoes are slow-roasted. PRO TIP: Save a little fresh basil for a garnish, if desired. Switch the red wine vinegar for balsamic vinegar or a dash of port wine, if you have it.
Variations: Add some chopped asparagus, pearl onions, or sliced Brussels sprouts to the cherry tomatoes for an even more colorful dish! Sprinkle the finished dish with parmesan cheese, bleu cheese, or feta crumbles for a tangy twist!
