Here's a recipe to tempt your taste buds- just made these semi-dried tomatoes last night & I can't wait to have them in my salad today. They take such a short time to prepare (max 10 mins) & the oven does the work for you! The slow cooking intensifies the flavour. I enjoy them far more than the traditional sun dried tomato.
Ingredients
1 kg Roma tomatoes
extra virgin olive oil
dried Italian herbs & basil
fresh oregano or basil (additional/ if desired)
Method
1. Prepare a large oven tray lined with baking paper.
2. Turn oven on to 120 degrees.
3. Wash tomatoes & either halve or quarter. Place cut side up on baking tray.
4. Sprinkle tomatoes generously with Extra Virgin olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with dried herbs.
5. Place in oven & allow to cook for 3 hrs.
6. If using additional fresh herbs sprinkle them over tomatoes after first 1 1/2 -2 hrs.
7. Turn oven off & leave in for an additional 20 mins.
8. Remove, allow to cool, then pack in layers on baking paper in an airtight container.
Enjoy! Absolutely delicious!
