HOW TO ROAST CHERRY TOMATOES

The process for roasting tomatoes is delightfully simple. This just may become one of your favorite cast-iron skillet recipes!

• STEP 1: Thinly slice the garlic lengthwise. Roughly chop the oregano.
• STEP 2: Add cherry tomatoes to a mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to coat.
• STEP 3: In a heavy cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil, garlic and oregano. Stir for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes, until the garlic is beautifully fragrant.
• STEP 4: Add the tomatoes to the pan. Stir for about 3 minutes. We want the skins to lightly blister and split, but we don’t want the tomatoes to burst!

• STEP 5: Remove the pan from heat. Allow the tomatoes to sit for about 1-2 minutes before garnishing.

• STEP 6: Grind salt and pepper over the blistered tomatoes.
• STEP 7: Sprinkle sliced basil leaves over the top. Garnish with sprigs of fresh rosemary!

EXPERT TIPS: HOW TO SERVE BLISTERED TOMATOES

• To serve as a side dish, sprinkle a bit of shaved Parmesan cheese over the top. Serve directly from the cast-iron pan!
• As flavorful garnish for grilled meat, use a spoon to transfer the tomatoes directly on top of the meat. Gently spread the mixture across the top of the steak, fish or chicken.
• As a topping for bruschetta, roughly chop the tomatoes and then drizzle them with balsamic vinegar. Spoon the mixture over toasted slices of an artisan baguette.
• Take things to the next level: drizzle some pesto over the cherry tomatoes!
