I just love summer tomatoes. We moved into our new house the first weekend in June. Knowing we were late in the season, we moved in on Saturday and planted a garden on Sunday. Mostly tomatoes in the garden. Nothing beats garden tomatoes. This is one of my favorite ways to serve up those beautiful garden cherry tomatoes that are actually inside rather than eaten straight off the plant.
This recipe uses rich praguera butter. Since butter is the main sauce in this dish, using a particularly good butter like Plugra will go a long way. Believe me. Crushed garlic soaks in the butter as it browns to create a nutty, garlicky butter sauce. Besides the taste, what’s the best part of this meal? Less than 15 minutes to make!
