i miss those beefy tomatoes that you get in the united states. browsing through my photo archives reminded me of this super easy recipe for roasted tomatoes.
get the freshest and fattest tomatoes you can lay your hands on. wash well and pat dry. cut each in two halves. lay them all out in a baking tray on parchment paper. give them all a nice olive oil rub and then dress up with freshly chopped garlic and thyme. a drizzle of balsamic and freshly ground sea salt and pepper would be great as well. leave to roast in a 350 degree f oven for several hours depending on how chunky your tomatoes are to begin with. those beefsteak tomatoes can be roasted upto four hours.
drink some wine, listen to music and putter around the house while your tomatoes roast. what you'll be left with at the end is a tray of intensely flavoured tomatoes that can be used in a multitude of ways. place on a bed of rocket for a light salad. blend and add a little bit of vegetable stock to make roasted tomato soup. chop up and toss with cooked fettucine for a pasta dinner. the possibilities are endless...
what would you do with slow roasted tomatoes?
