Ingredients

Boil kettle.  Place tomatoes in a bowl and tip boiling water over them.  Let stand for 2 minutes, drain and refresh with cold water.

In a frypan or saucepan melt half the butter.

Add the finely sliced garlic and stew in the butter for 30 seconds, then add tomatoes and stir/shake over a brisk heat until they are warmed and softened.
