Garlic and herb tomatoes (Ina Garten's)

By cookingflip on September 12, 2024

This is from Ina Garten's "Barefoot Contessa at Home". I didn't have fresh basil and thyme so I used dried, neither did I have parsley (not a staple in my kitchen) - but this still turned out very well. I'm writing down Ina's measurements below as a guide, but I was actually just winging it all along....

Ingredients:
3 tbsp olive oil (I must have used more)
2 cloves garlic (I definitely have used much, much more!)
cherry tomatoes
2 pints cherry tomatoes (I didn't measure mine - but what you'll see in the picture are already the leftovers)
2 tbsps fresh basil (I used dried)
2 tbsps fresh flat-leaf parsley (I skipped this)
2 tsps fresh thyme leaves (I used dried)
1 tsp kosher salt (I used Himalayan pink salt)
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

Procedure:
Saute garlic in olive oil, add the tomatoes, salt & pepper, and the herbs.
