Pomodori scottato con Basilico or Seared Tomatoes with Basil
I picked up some beautiful baby tomatoes at a local market. I usually tuck some in my lunch bag and snack on them at work, but somehow I ended up with a surplus in the refrigerator and decided that searing them and garnishing them with basil was a good idea. This recipe is colorful and really easy. It's healthy and a perfect side to your italian themed Valentine's Day dinner!
