*They are also a good source of vitamins C and A, as well as potassium.

*Tomatoes are a natural anti-inflammatory, making them ideal for people with conditions like arthritis.

Pan-fried tomatoes add a new depth of flavor to your dish!

Tomatoes are the perfect food to pan-fry and add to your dish. Not only do they add a great depth of flavor, but they are also very healthy for you. Tomatoes are full of antioxidants that help protect your cells from damage, and they are also a good source of Vitamin C, which can help boost your immune system.

When you pan-fry tomatoes, be sure to use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil will enhance the flavor of the tomatoes and will also help to make them crispy on the outside. You can either pan-fry them whole or slice them in half first. If you are using whole tomatoes, it's best to cook them for a few minutes on each side until they are nice and browned. If you are using sliced tomatoes, cook them for just a minute or two on each side.

Once the tomatoes are cooked, add them to your dish and enjoy! They will add a delicious depth of flavor that you won't be able to resist.
