Happy Monday lovely people! I want to start the week by sharing with you a fantastic way to use any abundance of tomatoes that you may have. For over the weekend, I had just that.
A pile of tomatoes in my fruit bowl that were juicy and ripe, and needed to be used before they turned. Simply, I sliced them in half and placed them (cut side up) on a rack over a baking dish. Sprinkled with a little sea salt and a drizzle of garlic infused olive oil…
Then into the oven at 100C for 10 hours. Yes you read that correct. 10 hours! But what a delightful sight I was greeted with when I opened the oven later in the day….
Perfectly dried tomatoes, packed full of flavour.
And while the uses for these beauties are endless, on this occasion I turned to an old favourite…..
Homemade pizza! Tomato paste, basil, mozzarella and of course, those oven-dried tomatoes.
And, true to form, they were the star of the show. And so very easy to make. Win win really! What about you? Ever dried your own tomatoes?
Nice one, Lisa. I haven't made these for years. My oven died tonight : (
Oh no!!!! hope it can be fixed soon (or you are able to get a sparkly new one?!)
yum! i've slow cooked tomatoes but never to this extent, must give it a go 🙂
You wont regret it 🙂
Oooh, I've thought about trying this a few times before but we never seem to have any spare tomatoes. Maybe next season I'll plan for spares by planting a couple of extra seeds.
