RECIPE: REC: Basil Baked Tomatoes

RECIPE:
I make these slow roasted tomatoes all the time...they're great to have on hand. According

to Jerry Traunfeld's "Herbfarm" cookbook, the slow roasting intensifies the flavor. It's a treatment used for lackluster tomatoes to bring out more flavor. And Jerry says, they're mindbogglingly good with fragrent tomatoes that are in season. I agree....

I roast up a batch and then keep them in the fridge, covered in olive oil.

 
Thanks, Meryl and Traca...

I have a batch of these in the oven right now. I sliced some fresh romas from my garden, sprinkled with chopped fresh basil, a few grindings of black pepper and sea salt, then drizzled with Spanish olive oil. It smells divine already!

 
I put mine in small ziplock bags and freeze. I just take one out when

I need it to add some depth and flavor to a recipe. Just the right amount, not to overwhelm the dish. I add some garlic to mine too, so it can get really intensely flavored with the roasted tomatoes and roasted garlic.
