Fresh tomatoes with balsamic garlic & rosemary on toast
- splash of oil of choice
- 3 medium tomatoes cut in half from top to bottom through the core
- 1 whole bulb garlic (or 3-4 garlic cloves) thinly sliced, then chopped
- 1 fresh sprig rosemary removed from the stalk
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 slices bread (toasted)
- butter of choice (for toast)
-
First prepare all your ingredients and get the bread ready for toasting.
-
Melt or heat the oil and put the pan on a medium to high heat (I use a non stick pan with a few sprays of olive oil), then place the tomatoes cut side down in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes.
-
Gently flip the tomatoes over then add the garlic and rosemary to the pan on top of the tomatoes. Allow the garlic and rosemary to sit on the tomatoes for a few minutes, then turn the heat down and move the tomatoes to one side.
-
Push all the garlic and rosemary together, then drizzle the balsamic vinegar over them. Cook for a minute, then stir. You wnat the garlic just changing colour to golden brown. Turn off the heat, but leave the pan there.
-
Toast your bread, spread with butter, then place 3 tomato halves on each slice and scatter the garlic and rosemary over. Add pepper (& salt) if needed.
-
Enjoy!
