Slow roasted plum tomatoes (washington)

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Dozen roma tomatoes
½ cup Olive oil
3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Chopped garlic
1 teaspoon Dry basil leaves
1 teaspoon Dry oregano leaves
1 teaspoon Dry thyme leaves
1 teaspoon Ground fennel seed
Salt
Fresh ground black pepper

Directions

Slice tomatoes lengthwise and arrange close together on a heavy cookie sheet Mix the olive oil, vinegar, and garlic and brush evenly on the tomatoes. Mix the dried herbs and fennel together and sprinkle evenly over the tomatoes. Dust tomatoes generously with salt and fresh pepper.

Place these in an oven set at the lowest possible temperature, and leave them for at least 12 hours. Tomatoes will lose about 70% of their volume, but be much more moist than sun dried tomatoes.

Lonny's simple technique with fresh tomatoes is revolutionary! Use these anywhere you might use sun dried tomatoes.
