Garlic and Herb Tomatoes

Unfortunately it will be a while before we’ll be picking fresh tomatoes from our garden. But, this yummy recipe is perfect for the sweet little red tomatoes from our local market.  Are you growing tomatoes this season? I hope you will try these Garlic and Herb Tomatoes.

What You need

Lets Make It! Heat the olive oil in a the pan. Add the garlic to the oil and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds (do not let garlic burn). Add the tomatoes, basil, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, gently tossing occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to lose their firm round shape (some may burst but that’s okay). Sprinkle with a little fresh chopped basil and parsley and serve hot . Serves 4-6
