Ingredients

1 large tomato (or 1 pint of cherry tomatoes, chopped)
6 large leaves of basil, chiffonaded
juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil, or more, to taste.
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1

In a saucepan, gently over medium-low heat the olive oil and lemon juice. If the heat gets too high, the lemon juice will evaporate, and then you lose that flavor.
2

Add the basil, and let cook for 30 seconds.
3

Add the tomatoes, and cook for 2-3 minutes, not so much that you lose that fresh tomato element.
4

Turn off the heat. Finally, add the chopped fresh herbs. Serve warm to room temp.
