Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: about 2 cups

Ingredients

6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 ounces sun dried tomatoes, julienned
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise (see notes)
3 scallions, sliced
1/4 cup chiffonade of fresh basil
1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until soft but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add the sun dried tomatoes, sherry vinegar, salt, a few grinds of black pepper and oregano. Cook until the tomatoes are soft, about 2 minutes more.
Add the grape tomatoes and scallions. Continue cooking until the grape tomatoes are soft and slightly wrinkled, about 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in the basil and parsley and cook for 1 minute more. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before serving.

Notes

Recipe Notes:

Plum tomatoes (about 5 medium) can easily be substituted for the grape tomatoes, just remove the seeds and chop them roughly.
