1
Prepare the Tomatoes
Wash the fresh tomatoes thoroughly under running water. Remove the stems and chop them into small pieces.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
3
Chop the Basil
Wash the basil leaves, dry them, and chop them roughly.

4
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5
Add the Tomatoes
Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Stir well and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
6
Season the Mixture
Add salt and pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes.
7
Add the Basil
Fold in the chopped basil leaves and let them wilt in the heat of the tomato mixture for about 2-3 minutes.
