Flash Fried Cherry Tomatoes with Garlic Scapes

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 8 young garlic scapes – cut on the diagonal in 1/8″ slices (1 cup) (see Cook’s note)
• 1/2 small bunch fresh chives – cut in 1/4″ pieces using kitchen scissors (1/4 cup)
• 1 1/2 lbs (680 g) assorted cherry tomatoes (4 cups) – halved
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
• freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the olive oil and garlic scapes and sauté for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, until garlic scapes are tender and just begin to turn dark green, stirring frequently.
3. Add the chives, tomatoes, salt and pepper and sauté for 30 seconds shaking the pan vigorously so they warm up evenly (The tomatoes should not cook or the skins will get tough. They should be barely warmed).
4. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately, as a side vegetable.
