Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sautéed Cherry Tomatoes with Garlic and Fresh Basil.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 2
In a spacious 12-inch frying pan, pour in a tablespoon of olive oil and heat it over medium-high until it shimmers invitingly.
Step 3
Once the oil is ready, toss in the cherry tomatoes, seasoning them generously with salt and pepper.
Step 4
As you sauté the tomatoes, give the pan a gentle shake every now and then.
Step 5
In just about two minutes, you’ll notice the tomatoes softening and their skins starting to wrinkle, which is a sign they’re on the right track.
Step 6
Next, add the minced garlic to the pan, continuing to shake it gently until the garlic releases its delightful aroma, which should take around 30 seconds.
Step 7
Once the garlic is fragrant, take the pan off the heat and stir in another tablespoon of olive oil along with a handful of fresh basil.
Step 8
This final touch will elevate your dish with a burst of flavor and freshness.
