Oven dried tomatoes

Recommended Posts

I am slow cooking (50c for 6 hours) my last tomatoes to then cover with oil & keep for use later in the year.

Saw them doing this on Economy Gastronomy, but I have a question - should the oil covered toms then go in the fridge, as sometimes olive oil goes all set & grainy when it gets cold?

 

I have a nice Kilner for them to go in, which I will sterilize too.

Personally I wouldnt put them in the fridge as every time I have put anything in oil in the fridge it has solidified.

 

Sound delicious. Are you cutting the tomatoes or putting them in whole?

 

I make a yummy pasta dish where you cut up tomatoes (cherry ones are nice) put them open side up on a baking tray, drizzle with oil and then sprinkle on chopped garlic and put in the oven on low.

 

Then stir in with some cooked pasta and avacado and bacon....yummmy.

Thats what I thought,but some shop bought ones I gat, Sacla I think they are, go into the Fridge once opened.

I will seal them well & keep them covered in oil, & I reckon they should be fine.

 

I just halved them - there is a mixture of normal round ones & some lovely large Plum tomatoes which did very well for me this year. Just gave them a drizzle of oil & a sprinkle of sea salt :D

I may add a sprig of Thyme to one jar too, just to see how it comes out.

 

I made a big batch of Passatta last week too, roasting them for a shorter time on a higher hear, with garlic, then whizzing them in the processor & freezing it in portions.

Some of the recipes for these suggest that they only keep for a few weeks in the fridge despite being in sterile jars and others seem to suggest that they keep for several months :?

 

I have roasted quite a few on a high heat then blitzed them and frozen them for winter use, we have also had a couple of batches of roasted tomato soup which has been lovely.

 

I still have loads left. My daughters took a pasta salad to school today, made with a fresh tomato, chilli and olive sauce made by blitzing them together with quite a lot of parsley and a little olive oil and lemmon juice and putting onto the warm pasta. I will be interestedto see if they liked it because it was so easy to do.

How funny! Great minds and all that :D I slow roasted some toms last night. Not quite sure for how long though; several hours at least in a 140 fan. I sprinkled on some olive oil, salt and pepper. I left them in the over over night then this afternoon I s"Ooops, word censored!"ped all the toms and the lovely sticky stuff into a jar, topped with olive oil and popped in the fridge. I hope them will be okay. I didn't roast them until they were dry like sun blush toms which was what I was after.
