Ingredients
- one dozen toutons
- grated parmesan cheese
For the Spicy Quick Tomato Compote
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- 8 large ripe tomatoes diced
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 6 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tsp crushed chili sauce or chili flakes, more or less to taste to control the heat
- salt and pepper to season
Instructions
Saute the garlic in the oil over medium heat for just a minute before adding the tomatoes, brown sugar, chili sauce, salt, pepper. Continue to cook until the tomatoes soften and the compote reduces to a jam-like consistency. Add the balsamic vinegar in the final minute or two of cooking before serving.
Serve the tomato compote over the warm toutons with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
