Easy as pie, an incredible experience eating (the warm garlicky tomato squishes into your mouth, you swoon...) Miriam Ungerer's Pan-broiled Cherry Tomatoes from Good Cheap Food (with adjustments) a dozen FRESH, RIPE cherry tomatoes (else don't bother), washed. 3-6 healthy cloves of garlic, mashed/pressed/chopped/whatever 1/4 teaspoon dry basil or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped 2 tablespoons olive oil Put oil, garlic and basil in a medium frying pan and heat at medium until the air fills with seductive perfume. Add the cherry tomatoes and salt and pepper, shaking and rolling them around in the pan, for about five minutes, or until the garlic starts to brown. Take care not to burst the skins. Serve immediately. In conjunction with an omelet, this makes a regal 10-minute meal.
