Sautéed Grape Tomatoes
Grape tomatoes were first cultivated inChina. The seeds were brought to the United States less than a decade ago. NowU.S. farmers grow more grape than cherry tomatoes.Lightly sautéing grape tomatoes brings outtheir natural sugars. I add a splash of balsamic vinegar to balance thesweetness. You can serve this dish hot or at room temperature.
