Parsley may be substituted for the cilantro

1/4 cup EVOO

1 Shallot, minced

1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

1/8 teaspoon ground cumin

1/8 teaspoon ground fennel

12 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved

Salt and Pepper

1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar

Preparation

Heat two tablespoons oil in 10 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add shallot, ginger, cumin, and fennel and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
