Tomato confit is it wonderful way to cook these lovely veggies.

The tomatoes are seasoned generously with olive oil, salt, pepper and herbs.

After that, they are slowly roasted on low temperature until they're tender, juicy and light be caramelized on the edges.

This technique brings out their own sweetness and concentrates their own flavor.

This confit can elevate almost every dish from pasta , polenta or risotto to sandwiches and on a crostini. You can serve as a side dish.


Even though the tomato confit can be time consuming, the Effort definitely pays off

If you have too much oil you can add to a separate container a d use as a dipping oil for breads.

I will store in the fridge in air tight container for a week but not that it has ever lasted this long In our house. This goes so good in sandwiches, rice and anything else you can imagine. Lol.
