Bright, punchy, and fragrant, this compote is a versatile way to use up a surplus of cherry tomatoes—whether you’re working with the juiciest bounty of peak summer or a few less-flavorful off-season pints. Whole spices bloomed in olive oil, bold aromatics, and a dash of red wine vinegar turn warm burst tomatoes into a sauce you’ll want to spoon on everything from fish to pork chops to grain bowls. Here it’s draped over a craggy chicken cutlet seared to golden perfection.
