Caramelised Cherry Tomatoes

Caramelised cherry tomatoes, otherwise known as my new easiest side dish. I have started a new job and I am working much longer hours than before. I have to admit that I gave up on cooking for a while. I bought fast food from the train station and enlisted the nearby delivery restaurants to keep us fed for a month. But too much food cooked outside my own kitchen starts to taste strange after a while. Enter: this laughably easy dish.


I bought some white fish to pan fry since that's a fast main dish. Then I added this Donna Hay recipe for caramelised cherry tomatoes. The idea is really that you pan fry some chicken or fish and remove it. Then deglaze the pan for two minutes with balsamic vinegar and halved cherry tomatoes. Then serve. That is all! Cooking the tomatoes add only two minutes to the overall time of making dinner. I served it on some courgette noodles (they were raw, and the balsamic juices warmed them a bit). That's the kind of fast food I need right now.

This dish is part of our Wednesdays with Donna Hay blogging group. If you want to join us, next week we are making crispy sage potatoes with fried eggs. Visit the others in my blogging group to see if they liked the recipe: Margaret from Tea and Scones, Gaye from Laws of the Kitchen, and Chaya from Bizzy Bakes.

I would love to have your suggestion for fast home-cooked food!

I love what you did with this recipe. The plate is totally appealing. I have to take a photo. We are having ours tonight. I am looking forward to it. The courgette noodles are such a good idea.

Brilliant! My wife is going through another "I must lose five kilos before I meet my old friends at the reunion" stage, and as chief cook and bottle-washer I am always on the look out for easy low cal meals that I can enjoy too! I am tempted to put a spoon of Dijon mustard in the balsamic. I will try it both ways.

I think adding Dijon mustard sounds like a great idea! Let me know which way is better. :) Good luck to your wife; reunions are scary and I haven't been to any, ever.
