Kristin’s Tomato Confit


Robyn Openshaw - Oct 03, 2011 - This Post May Contain Affiliate Links


Do you grow cherry tomatoes or know someone who does? There's a huge field of them at the top of my street, abandoned by the grower because it's too labor-intensive to pick them. Luckily the owner of the field is generous and I can take my fill! If you've got access to some, my site director came up with a recipe that will blow your mind.

My favorite thing to do with this stuff is dip brown-rice crackers in it, but there are plenty of possibilities. At the end of the recipe, Kristin has added some ideas.

Kristin's Tomato Confit (pronounced "cone-fee")

the amount you use of each ingredient will depend on your preferences. play around and find what works for you!

Ingredients

  • garden-fresh cherry tomatoes
  • yellow tomatoes (optional, for color)
  • garlic
  • rosemary
  • olive oil
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Fill the bottom of a pan with whole garden-fresh cherry tomatoes. I like to use an 8x13 pan, but you can adjust for your circumstances. I also add yellow tomatoes for color if I have them.
  2. Crush the cloves of an entire bulb of garlic and add it to the pan.
  3. Add the leaves of two sprigs of rosemary.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil and add sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste.
  5. Bake at 300 degrees for an hour.
  6. Remove from oven and smash coarsely with a potato masher. Spread on bruschetta, on its own or with goat cheese, or add to couscous, quinoa, or pasta as a sauce.
