Galayet bandora (Jordanian fried tomatoes)
Middle Eastern 10 Mins Prep · 15 Mins Cook
- Slice the tomatoes approx. 1-2cm thick. Thinly slice half the chilli and leave one whole. Grate the garlic. Peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium pan placed over a medium heat.
- Add the onion and chillies. Add the garlic last so it doesn’t burn. Sauté until the onion turns golden.
- Arrange the tomatoes in a single layer in the pan. Increase the heat so the tomatoes begin to caramelise. When the tomatoes lose some liquid and form a caramelised consistency around the edges, stir them around a bit, but don’t mix them completely. Reduce the heat and cover the pan to allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens, but is not yet dry. Season to taste.
- Sprinkle with freshly toasted pine nuts and serve with warm pitta.
