Note

If using less ripe or hot house tomatoes, adding 2 tablespoons of water helps steam them slightly, ensuring they are tender and hot throughout.

For extra flavor, you can season with salt and pepper to taste, or add a pinch of dried herbs like oregano or basil.

This dish pairs well with crusty bread, rice, or as a topping for grilled vegetables.
