Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1.50 cups cherry tomatoes
270g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/4 cup coriander leaves
3.75g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Wash the cherry tomatoes, coriander leaves, and red hot chili peppers thoroughly.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Finely chop the coriander leaves.
- Finely chop the red hot chili peppers.
2. Cook the Base:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
3. Add Tomatoes and Peppers:
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add in the finely chopped red hot chili peppers and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Incorporate Final Ingredients:
- Stir in the chopped coriander leaves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately stir in the lime juice. Mix well to combine.
5. Serve:
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl while warm.
- Optionally, garnish with a few extra coriander leaves on top.
6. Enjoy:
- Serve the warm tomato and coriander dip with your favorite crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks.

Tips:

- Choose fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes for the best flavor. If cherry tomatoes are not available, you can substitute with grape tomatoes or any other small, sweet tomato variety.

- Adjust the number of chili peppers based on your preferred level of spiciness. If you prefer a milder dip, consider using just one chili or removing the seeds and membranes where most of the heat resides.

- For a smoother texture, you can blend the dip to your desired consistency using a hand blender or food processor.

- Let the dip sit for a few minutes after cooking to allow the flavors to meld together.

This warm tomato and coriander dip is a versatile and delightful dish, combining fresh ingredients to create an appetizing starter. It’s perfect for entertaining, offering a burst of flavors that will impress your guests. Serve it warm with your favorite dippers, and enjoy the vibrant, zesty taste that is sure to be a hit at any gathering.
