    Add a sweet burst of flavor to your eggs, meats, and fish dishes with sautéed tomatoes with shallots. Grape tomatoes are a staple in most kitchens, but did you know they're also full of disease-fighting lycopene?

    What are Shallots?

    Shallots, onions, and garlic are members of the allium family. Shallots are about the size of a walnut and are often described as a cross between onions and garlic.

    They can be used both cooked and raw and are often used in place of onions for a sweeter taste.

    shallots

    When shopping, look for shallots that are firm and heavy for their size with no soft spots and dry skin. Sprouting shallots with soft spots are old and should be avoided. If there is a bit of a green sprout on your shallots, you can safely trim it away.

    Store shallots in a cool, dry, and dark place with plenty of air circulation, and they will last for about a month.

    What You Need

    tomatoes, shallots, olive oil thyme, salt, and pepper.
    • Shallots
    • Grape or Cherry Tomatoes (organic are preferred)
    • Fresh herbs (thyme, basil, parsley, etc.)
    • Olive Oil
    • Salt
    • Pepper

    How to Prepare Sauteed Tomatoes

    Wash and towel dry the tomatoes. Slice them vertically, through the stem end.

    Trim the ends of the shallots with a paring knife and then peel the outer 2 or 3 layers of papery skin. They can be diced the same way you dice an onion.

    Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until the edges brown. Add the tomatoes and sauté for 3 minutes until tomatoes are softened a bit and heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
