Ingredients

1 pint cherry tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

Place tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil in 10-12" pan along with a pinch of salt. Set over very low heat, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After the tomatoes have softened, boost heat to high, and once you hear sizzling, fry for 2-3 minutes (stirring continuously) or until tomato skins just start to blister. Serve immediately!
