Tomates Asados a Lento Fuego

Ingredientes

• 10 pounds small plum tomatoes (stems removed)
• 1 cup olive oil (for drizzling)
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh thyme (or chopped fresh rosemary)
• fine sea salt (to taste)

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 225 °F (107 °C)

2. 2

   Arrange 3 oven racks to the top, middle and bottom positions of your oven. Line 3 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Rinse tomatoes and cut them in half crosswise (equator, instead of top to bottom) and arrange, cut side up, on prepared baking sheets.

4. 4

   Drizzle tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Sprinkle with salt to taste (I recommend a light sprinkle as the flavor will intensify).

5. 5

   Roast for 3 hours, until tomatoes are soft and shriveled. Rotate the sheets among the racks every 45 minutes or so, to cook the tomatoes evenly.

6. 6

   Cool tomatoes until they're comfortable to handle. Then fill your clean, lidded jars almost to the top and freeze.
