Roasted Cherry Tomatoes + Pomegranate Molasses Over Quinoa

• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, heirloom medley
• 2 shallots, sliced
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/2 pinch ground black pepper
• 1 cup dry uncooked quinoa
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chiffoned
• 2 cups water
• 1 dash extra virgin olive oil

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. First, cook the quinoa according to the package. Typically you will rinse off one cup in a mesh strainer, dry, and then place in a pot with a dash of olive oil. Mix it around in the pot. Then, add 2 cups of water. Bring contents to a boil, reduce to simmer, and cover. Let the quinoa cook for 15 minutes before removing from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes before you fluff it with a fork.
3. Slice the roasted cherry tomatoes in half. Slice the shallots in thin pieces.
4. Toss the cherry tomatoes and shallots in 1 tbsp of olive oil and place on a baking sheet or pan.
5. Roast the tomatoes + shallot for 10-12 minutes, right when the juices of the tomatoes begin to pop their skin.
6. Put the cooked quinoa on a dish. Place the roasted tomato + shallot mixture on top of the quinoa. Garnish with cilantro. Drizzle the pomegranate molasses over the entire dish. Enjoy!
