Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl while warm.
- Optionally, garnish with a few extra coriander leaves on top.
- 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.
