Tomato and Basil Stir-Fry Sensation

Ingredients

- 2 (14.5 oz) cans of diced tomatoes, drained
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Ingredients
- Open and drain the canned tomatoes. Roughly chop them into smaller pieces for ease of cooking and better integration into the stir-fry.
- Rinse and dry the fresh basil leaves. Chop them finely and set aside.

2. Heat the Pan
- Place a large non-stick pan or wok over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat for about 1-2 minutes until it’s sufficiently hot.

3. Stir-Fry the Tomatoes
- Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Stir the tomatoes constantly to prevent sticking. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the tomatoes start to soften and their natural juices are partially reduced.

4. Season the Dish
- Sprinkle the salt evenly over the tomatoes. Stir to combine thoroughly, allowing the salt to draw out additional moisture and enhance the natural sweetness of the tomatoes.

5. Add Fresh Basil
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped basil leaves, stirring them into the tomatoes. Cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the basil wilts and releases its aromatic flavor.

6. Final Adjustments and Serve
- Taste the stir-fry and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with a few whole basil leaves for an elegant presentation.
