Do you have some
leftover cherry
tomatoes? Well here is an idea, try making oven-dried tomatoes.
You only
need to heat the cherry tomatoes in the oven
for a few hours at a
low temperature, to dry them up and concentrate their flavors. The
end product is a very
sweet and delicious dried tomatoes. The tomatoes are delicious on their own, but
they are amazing paired with a nice wine
and a little bit of goat cheese on the side. I serve the tomatoes on top of a fresh baguette, smeared with a chunk of
goat cheese and
topped with fresh basil
leaves. Of course, I drizzle a bit of olive oil from the dried tomato marinade over the top as a finishing touch. Perfect finger food for parties!
Homemade dried tomatoes
· Tomatoes (cherry tomatoes, fruit tomatoes, plum tomatoes.. anything!)
· Coarse salt
· Extra virgin olive oil
1.
Cut
the tomatoes lengthwise and lay them with the cut side facing up, on a flat
surface.
2.
Sprinkle
salt on top of the cut surface of the tomatoes and set them down for 30 minutes to allow the extra moisture to
evaporate. 3. On a parchment lined baking sheet, place the tomatoes (the cut side facing up) and roast them at 270°F for about two to four hours.
4. Keep the dried tomatoes in a container and cover them in olive oil.
*Keep the tomatoes in the fridge and bring them back to room temperature when you’re serving them.
*Roast for shorter or longer time depending on your preference. I roast them for about 3 hours.
