Simple, quick Instant Pot Burst Tomatoes for topping, dipping, and beyond!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pints grape or cherry tomatoes (about 5060 tomatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Big pinch of kosher salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add tomatoes and water to the pressure cooker pot.  Add garlic on top of the tomatoes (this will keep the garlic from burning on the bottom of the pot).  Sprinkle with herbs, salt, and pepper.
  2. Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position.  Cook at high pressure for 1 minute.
  3. When cooking is complete, use a quick release.
  4. Taste and add extra salt, if needed.
  5. Serve the tomatoes as is, or use a potato masher to lightly mash them for a more saucy texture.
  6. Serve hot over pasta, on garlic bread, as a topping on a margarita pizza, over Polenta, or scoop onto Socca Bread.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, after tomatoes are cooked, add a tablespoon of butter and use the saute button to simmer and concentrate the flavor.
  • A tablespoon of balsamic vinegar is also a great flavor addition.
  • Store tomatoes in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week.  Use the tomatoes as a topping for pasta, garlic bread, socca bread, polenta, or pizza.
