Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 pints grape tomatoes we used red and yellow, cut in half lenghtwise
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons Creme Fraiche
  • 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves finely chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat up a saucepan or saute pan large enough to hold all the tomatoes over medium heat. When hot, add two tablespoons of the butter and let it melt.
  2. Add the shallot, cook for a few minutes, and then add the garlic. Stir and cook for another minute or two until the garlic becomes fragrant, but do not let it burn.
  3. Add the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, stir, and cook until the tomatoes start to soften. This can take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your stove. If they break down more than you expect, don't fear; they will still be great in the sauce.
  4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan with the creme fraiche and the chopped tarragon leaves. Stir to combine and cook for a minute or two.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Notes

  • Serve with the ravioli or chicken or any other delicious main course.
