"I don't know whether to call this a relish, or a warm salsa. It is very similar to my fresh tomato sauce recipe; but, this is cooked very quickly, and you really don't want to create a sauce. It is so quick and easy to prepare, it's perfect for a weeknight dinner. Great on pasta, which is what I love; ravioli and tortellini especially. Grilled seafood, chicken, pork, or beef are also delicious. And, perfect for a side or appetizer on toasted baguettes. It literally takes 5 minutes. But, make sure you have fresh herbs; that, is really what makes this simple dish 'extra special.' I like grape tomatoes since they are a bit smaller then cherry tomatoes, and a bit sweeter; but, they both work just as good. However, a 'larger' tomato doesn't work well with this dish; they produce too much liquid, which is what you don't want."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Relish ... Add the olive oil and (optional) red pepper flakes to a saute pan, and bring to medium-medium high heat. Add the tomatoes, garlic, all purpose seasoning, and a pinch of both salt and pepper; and cook just a minute, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Then, add the wine; and, continue to cook about 4-5 minutes on medium-high heat, just until the tomatoes start to break down, and most of the wine has evaporated. Make sure to continue stirring.
Step 2
Finish ... Remove from the heat, add the fresh herbs; and, season once again with salt and pepper. DONE!
Step 3
Serve and ENJOY! ... As I mentioned, This is such a nice alternative to a heavy tomato sauce on pasta. But, also, equally as good on seafood, pork, chicken, or beef. And, it is delicious on toasted baguettes. I like to serve this warm; however, it is just as good served room temperature.
