This simple Palestinian brunch staple is a favorite in our household. It is especially loved by my father, who not only enjoys making it for the family, but also eating it. He would make it often in the warmer months, as we grew our own tomatoes and green chiles. You can expect an explosion of melt-in-your-mouth tomato and garlic flavor with a kick of heat! This skillet is often enjoyed with fresh pita bread for the perfect bite.

How to Prepare Qalayet Bandura (Tomato Garlic Skillet) [Vegan]
- To a skillet, add the olive oil followed by the minced garlic cloves. Cook on medium heat for 2 to 4 minutes, until the garlic becomes fragrant and lightly browned.
- At this point, add in the tomatoes and toss with the olive oil and garlic. At first, they will appear chunky, but they will cook down and lose their structure.
- For a little heat, add the jalapeño to the pan. Stir with the other ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
- Allow all the flavors to cook together, covered, for 10 to 13 minutes on medium heat until the tomato chunks are broken down. Cook uncovered for another 2 to 5 minutes so it thickens slightly. Taste to see if any more seasoning is necessary, and enjoy this simple and delicious Palestinian dish with some fresh pita bread to dip.
