Tomato Confit
Tomato Confit is what you do with cherry tomatoes when you grow them and have a bumper crop and neighbors no longer want them, or, you have purchased some - and they are getting a bit tired. You can roast them up, and flavor them up - making them a lovely refrigerator-ready condiment to adorn many recipes - from a casual lunch - to a formal sit-down dinner party.
- 3 cups cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 4 cloves of garlic peeled
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
Toss the ingredients together on a large roasting pan.
Put into the oven for approximately 45 minutes.
The tomatoes are done when they have blistered, rendered some juices and there is some caramelization on the roasting pan.
Cool and store for use as a condiment for many main dishes and salads.
