English Breakfast part 2. Fried tomatoes

This is very simple..

Cut the two ends off the tomatoe. Then cut the tomato in half as in the illustration. That is one Serving.

Ingredients
2 Knobs of butter
2 tbspn olive oil
1 tblspn Fresh basil finely chopped
Pinch of brown sugar for each tomato half.
Melt the oil and butter together until butter starts to brown. Add the tomatoes large face down in the pan and cook as quickly as possible on high heat until just brown. Turn over and sprinkle finely chopped basil and the pinch of sugar.Wait until the bottom has browned and the brown sugar should have just about dissolved. A teas spoon of golden treacle works better but not everyone has it in the cupboard. Brown that side quickly and serve. The tomato should be browned but still firm. Its easier to say than do! The secret is a hot pan.
