Equipment
- 1 saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small carrot shredded
- ½ medium onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic medium
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 14 ounces grape or cherry tomatoes halved lengthwise
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- In a medium heavy bottom saucepan, heat butter over medium heat.
- Add carrots, onion, garlic and season with salt and pepper to the pot. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Add the cherry tomatoes, Italian seasoning, ½ cup water and simmer until tomatoes are soft and juicy for 10 minutes.
Notes
- Grate the carrots finely for faster cooking and a smoother texture.
- Use room-temperature butter for quicker melting.
- Let the onions soften fully to avoid overpowering the dish.
- Slightly smash the garlic before mincing to release more flavor.
- Simmer the tomatoes on low heat for richer, juicier results. Add a pinch of sugar if the tomatoes are too acidic.
- Stir occasionally to let the tomatoes caramelize on the bottom.
