My favorite, most versatile dish/condiment to make is oven burst tomatoes. They are great with some crusty grain bread and fresh mozz, work well over pasta with a little grated parm, can be used as a topping for chicken and meat, oh the list goes on. And, they are so simple!! Sometimes simple really tastes the best.
1 pkg multi-color tomatoes (or just plain red)
crushed garlic
olive oil
salt
pepper
basil
Preheat broiler. Halve the larger tomatoes and place all of them in a bowl. Mix in olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Toss until well coated. So pretty!
Spread on a baking sheet, throw on a few basil leaves and place under broiler. Cook until they start to burst and get some browning.
I love using these for lunch. Just top crusty bread (this pic is a big no-no for me these days, white french bread - eeek) with fresh mozz and top with tomatoes. Yummy!! Re-broiling turns this snack into a yummy french bread margarita pizza.
I agree that simple recipes really do taste better! Maybe that's because they cause less stress in the cooking process. This dish looks great! A perfect summer side.
