Ingredients

3 cups Cherry Tomatoes (Washed. Stems removed.)

3 cloves Garlic (Minced or chopped.)

¼ Red Onion (Diced)

2 tbsp Olive Oil (extra virgin)

¼ tsp salt

½ tsp oregano (dried oregano)

½ tsp basil (dried basil)

pinch freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Directions

Heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add diced onion and minced garlic to the olive oil and cook over medium to medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes.

Stir in cherry tomatoes and place the lid on the saucepan. Continue to cook over medium heat.

When the tomatoes start to burst (after about 10 minutes), stir in the salt, basil, and oregano. Put the lid back on the saucepan and cook for another 5 minutes.

Burst cherry tomatoes using the end of a fork or back of a spoon. Once all of the cherry tomatoes have burst, carefully use an immersion blender to blend up about half of the tomato mixture (skins and seeds).

Serve and enjoy!
