Make these when tomatoes are in season. The slow roasting gives
them an incredible flavor: serve with little toasts, or chop them up and toss with pasta or
couscous.
Ingredients
2 pounds (910g) Roma tomatoes, fresh and in season (about 10
tomatoes)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp (30mL) extra–virgin olive oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C).
Carefully cut tomatoes in half lengthwise and place cut side up on a
shallow baking pan or cookie sheet. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle minced garlic over
tomatoes. Add a bit of salt and pepper, to taste.
Bake, uncovered for 4 hours or more. The tomatoes should be fairly
shriveled looking and very aromatic.
Cool to room temperature and serve as an appetizer on crackers or thin
slices of French bread.
