Ingredients

3 tablespoons good olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
2 pints cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a saute pan large enough to hold all the tomatoes in one layer. Add the garlic to the oil and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, basil, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to loose their firm round shape. Sprinkle with a little fresh chopped basil and parsley and serve hot or at room temperature.

GREAT side dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this often, but most recently as a side dish to BBQ'd salmon and a spinach pie from one of Ina's cookbooks. The... great thing is that you can make this a few hours in advance and let it sit at room temperature (as with the spinach pie), and so you can enjoy your guests when they arrive. The tomatoes are fantastic, and if you have leftovers (which hardly ever happens with these) you can put them in the fridge and they're still really good the next day. An easy five stars, as so many of Ina's recipes are! Read more

New Staple Side
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I don't usually go for Ina's recipes, as they are typically a bit complicated and have many/expensive ingredients, but I... could afford to eat this every day! I love the way the tomatoes just burst in your mouth. I add sauteed green beans as well, just because they taste well together. I also tend to use dried herbs, but the one time I did use entirely fresh ones, it tasted just as well. Thanks, Ina!Read more

Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe using all the ingredients from my garden. It was so nice to have everything so fresh. We loved it. ... Also, I added som fresh mozerella. The nexr day, I used the leftovers. I heated the mixture and mashed it. I then spread it on onion rolls for our burgers. These were the best burgers we ever had. I will make this again and again. Thanks Ina!Read more

DELICIOUS
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been watching Ina Garten for years and I simply adore her!!! This recipe is so quick, easy and delicious. I didn't... have fresh herbs on hand, so for every tablespoon of fresh herbs, I substituted a teaspoon of dry herbs because dry herbs are more potent than fresh. Great Recipe!!!! Keep up the FABULOUS job you do Ina, and also Food Network. Your channel is my favorite, must watch channel, every day!!!!Read more

With Mozzarella - it's awesome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make this often. Sometimes I add a little extra garlic and herbs and serve over pasta with grated parmesan. I have also... served (room temperature) with perlini mozzarella balls. Or boccacini mozarella cut into small pieces if you can't find perlini. If you don't cool the tomatoes, then the mozzarella will melt. While it's still delicious, the presentation suffers. LOVE this recipe!Read more

an explosion of flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was hoping to get some ideas for dinner tonight when I saw this episode this afternoon...I knew the rest of my family... wouldnt be too eager to breakfast for dinner so I just used the the tomato recipe as a side dish and boy am I glad I did! The aroma of the basil and parsely with the thyme are enough to get you drooling...the burst you experience when cooking the tomatoes is the same burst and pop you get in your mouth as soon as you try these! They are simply delicious and super easy to make!!! Just be careful when you're adding the tomatoes to the oil, I had some minor splatter issues with the hot oil, but no biggie. These are also great to pair with crusty bread drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper... truly an explosion of flavor!Read more
