I've seen some great pics and recipes on this forum for some slow cookin' tomatoes. Of course, I didn't save any of them.[p]Anyone that can provide some help would be greatly appreciated. Going to try my first batch tomorrow hopefully.[p]Thanks!

    Yesterday...I had the most wonderful smelling house...if you're Itallian, or Itallian at heart!!In order to get better flavor from tomatos this time of year I occassionally watch for Roma's (on sale), buy a bunch, and spend a couple days slow roasting/drying them to concentrate the flavors!!Pretty simple..



    1 Slice lengthways....scoop out most of the seeds and juice.
    2 Drizzle with "good" Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic.
    3 Sprinkle with diced garlic, fresh ground black pepper, grey salt, sweet basil... and thyme.
    4 Slow roast on a cooling rack over a sheet (or jelly roll) pan for 3-4 hours @ 275.
    5 If you have a Convection oven...use it!
    6 Store in the Refrigerator.

    Harris Buck,[p]I roast tomatoes all the time on the Egg... and serve them alongside whatever else is ready at eatin' time. I have never roasted tomatoes for long-term storage...[p]I halve them, or slice 'em thick... douse 'em with OO, salt & pepper, a little [just a little] Italian seasoning and give them long, slow heat, them pull them just before raising the heat for steaks, or whatever.[p]I put them right on the grill... and sprinkle them with a little finishing EVOO when they come off the grill... [p]The sugars concentrate... and guests always complain they want more... never any left over.[p]You can do just about any veggie right on the grill with OO and seasoning... but tomatoes can be slow roasted...[p]~ Best[p]~ Broc

    Broc, just across the Muddy Mo from Omaha,
    I use an adapted version of Martha Stewart's "Oven Dried Tomatoes" (link below)
    I did them on a pizza pan (parchment underneath), indirect at 250 for about 2 hours or until they were "dried"

    tomato020.jpg[p]I normally use plum tomatoes since they are the best "cooking" tomato (low moisture) and the sugar sweetens them up nicely for use as a tomato "paste", with pasta, or I like it on toasted ciabatta bread with a little mayo! yum!
