Ingredients

• 4 large ripe tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoons honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes and cut them into thick slices, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add the olive oil and let it warm up for about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Sprinkle the red chili flakes into the skillet and stir for another 30 seconds to infuse the oil with spice.

Step 5

Lay the tomato slices in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side without moving them, to get a slight sear.

Step 6

Flip the tomato slices gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Step 7

Drizzle the apple cider vinegar and honey over the tomatoes, and carefully shake the skillet to coat them evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the tomatoes, then add the chopped fresh basil. Toss gently to combine.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and let the tomatoes rest for 1-2 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or spoon over crusty bread for a quick appetizer.
