Wilted Tomatoes

Serves 2-3

This easy vegetable side is one of my go-to items for weekend bunch especially when eggs are involved. These delicious jewels are however multipurpose and delicious with roasted chicken and fish dishes.

“Recipe Tips:

1. The tomatoes are done when the skins begin to split and the tomatoes soften slightly.

2. Do not overcook the tomatoes or you will have tomato sauce.”
