    REC ENC: (Barefoot Contessa) Garlic and Herb Tomatoes

    Wow~the heat and humidity is high already!  I came in from the garden with herbs, cukes and tomatoes. Since it will be just the two of us(activities have been cancelled do to drought conditions and the kids have taken their families to the lakes). Tomatoes are looking good for this simple salad from Barefoot Contessa.

    Have a safe July 4th! Linda

    Garlic and Herb Tomatoes

    2006, Barefoot Contessa at Home, All Rights Reserved

    Serves: 6 servings

    Ingredients

    • 3 tablespoons good olive oil
    • 2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
    • 2 pints cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
    • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    Directions

    Heat the olive oil in a saute pan large enough to hold all the tomatoes in one layer. Add the garlic to the oil and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, basil, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to loose their firm round shape. Sprinkle with a little fresh chopped basil and parsley and serve hot or at room temperature.

    Thanks for peeking in here, Margaret. I haven't been disappointed with any of her recipes. This was a perfect summer salad...the herbs were wonderful combination and with a light extra virgin oil was great.

    I hope you have tomato bounty, too.  If we don't get rain pretty soon, we won't have much of a garden so I was savoring these tomatoes just in case the worst happensSad
