Sauteed Tomatoes and Shallots


Does anyone else have trouble thinking of interesting sides? I am always able to find unique main courses but often end up pairing them with a simple green salad. This side is simple but unique and has a very interesting flavor and compliments a variety of main dishes including herb crusted roasted chicken (shown above), a light white fish, etc. Enjoy!

Recipe modified from Real Simple.

Ingredients:
1 pint grape tomatoes
1 large shallot diced
1/4 cup white wine
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt
fresh ground pepper

Method:

Step one: Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 5-6 minutes.

Step two: Add the tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring until the tomatoes begin to burst, 7-8 minutes. 



Step three: Add the wine and cook until nearly evaporated, approximately 4-5 minutes and add capers.
