Tomatoes with Chile and Onion (Baladho)
Baladho is a quick pan dish of fried tomatoes seasoned with chili, salt and a little sugar. The sugar is the detail worth noticing, because a half teaspoon takes the edge off the tomato's acidity without making the dish sweet. With only six ingredients and one pan, it works as a fast side next to rice or bread, or as a simple topping for either.
Instructions
Wash the chili and slice it. Slice the onion as well, and slice the tomatoes so they are ready to go into the pan.
Pour the vegetable oil into a frying pan and set it over medium-high heat. Add the salt, the sugar and the sliced chili.
Add the sliced tomatoes to the pan. The source does not say when to add the onion, so stir it in alongside the tomatoes.
Cook the tomatoes in the oil until they are fried and softened. Serve them straight from the pan with a garnish of your choice.
