Quick "stewed" tomatoes
Serves: 4 - Prep Time: 10 minutes - Total Time: 25 minutes
Halving some of the tomatoes gives this side a range of textures.
1 tablespoon butter*
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
1/2 medium onion, diced
coarse salt and ground pepper
2 pints grape or cherry tomatoes, 1 pint halved
1/4 teaspoon dried basil**
In a large saucepan, heat butter over medium. Add celery, onion and 1/2 cup water, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until water has evaporated and celery is tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
Add tomatoes, cook until tomatoes are soft and juicy, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in basil; season with salt and pepper.
* I prefer to use olive oil
** I use fresh basil
