Prepare Ingredients:

Heat a pot of salted water to boiling on high. Trim the spring onion; thinly slice, separating the white bottoms and green tops. Peel and mince garlic. Pick the parsley leaves (discarding stems) and roughly chop. Cut cherry tomatoes in half. Thinly slice chili.

Cook Aromatics:

In a large deep sided pan, heat butter on medium until hot. Add the white bottoms of the spring onion, tomatoes and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1-2 minutes, or until softened and fragrant and tomatoes start releasing their juices.
