Chicken hearts in a frying pan with baked tomatoes

3 servings

40 minutes

Fresh tomatoes in the fall are not the same as in the summer, but it is worth baking them in the oven, concentrating the flavor and getting rid of excess water, as their presence in any dish will increase. The hearts in this recipe are fried separately in a frying pan, and only then they are added to the baked tomatoes. Some are soft, sweet and sour, reminiscent of jelly in consistency, others have a spicy crust and muscular texture. The contrast is complemented by butter, which, spreading over the hot , absorbing tomato juice and the smell of garlic and thyme, turns into a delicate sauce that does not drown out the taste of the main ingredients, but only slightly intriguing, like creamy notes in a good red wine. It turns out to be a universal thing: hearts with tomatoes can be eaten just like that, put on bread or made a base risotto or pasta.
