Author Notes: I made this as part of an entry into the aioli contest and decided to enter this as a recipe unto itself. I have been making it for years using with eggs primarily but its also a wonderful addition to sandwiches, or main dishes. Super simple to make and very versatile. Store in the refrigerator. - sdebrango
Serves 4-6
- 2 cups Fresh red cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 1 Shallot diced
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper
- Olive Oil to coat pan
- Coat your fry pan with olive oil, heat should be med/high. Add shallots and saute until translucent, add tomato,salt and pepper to taste and cook until tomato starts to caramelize but there should still be some of the juices from the tomato you don't want it too dry. Add the balsamic vinegar and continue to cook stirring frequently for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Me too, I can't wait until the really wonderful heirloom tomato's hit the market. Balsamic and tomato are like a marriage made in heaven I think. If you do make this please let me know how you like it. Thank you so much.

Just came home with a precious bag of early season tomatoes from my favorite market. They have this written all over them. Beautiful, and thank you.
