If you have access to some fresh pear or cherry tomatoes this summer- either from the Farmer’s Market or your own garden- you need to make this simple side dish.  When tomatoes are sauteed, they sweeten up perfectly (without any sugar!) And when you add simple, fresh herbs, they’re so delicious!!

When is tomato season?

Tomato season is officially May through September. That’s when you’ll find the freshest and sweetest tomatoes.

How to make Sauteed Tomatoes with Thyme:

You’ll heat a tiny amount of oil in a skillet, and then you’ll add one pint of red tomatoes and one pint of yellow tomatoes along with some chopped fresh thyme. You can use either pear tomatoes or cherry tomatoes. The tomatoes are sauteed until a little bit blistered, and then they’re pulled from the heat and sprinkled with salt and pepper. That’s it! Serve these Sauteed Tomatoes with Thyme as a side dish to grilled meats or fish.  You’ll be so happy you did! They literally take less than 10 minutes to make in a skillet on the stove. So making dinner can’t get much easier, and it’s such a pretty addition to dinner too.
