Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh seedless grapes (red or green)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Flaky sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until it is very hot.
Step 2
Wash and dry the grapes, then remove them from the stems. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they caramelize properly.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the grapes with olive oil to coat them evenly.
Step 4
Carefully add the grapes to the hot skillet in a single layer. Be cautious, as the oil may splatter.
Step 5
Allow the grapes to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the skins start to blister and blacken slightly. You might hear the grapes popping as they release juices.
Step 6
Gently toss or stir the grapes with a spatula, ensuring all sides are evenly cooked. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the grapes are softened and caramelized, with a lightly smoky aroma.
Step 7
Remove from heat and season with flaky sea salt and black pepper. If desired, add fresh thyme for a subtle herbal note and drizzle with honey for extra sweetness.
Step 8
Serve warm as an appetizer, salad topping, or side dish. These can also be paired with goat cheese, ricotta, or roasted meats for a more substantial dish.
