I was going through my pile of recipes, trying to come up with an appetizer I had never made, and happened on slow-roasted tomatoes.
It is one of the simplest recipes I have ever made. A handful of ingredients that are tossed together and then placed in the oven at a low temperature for 7 1/2 hours. My kind of recipe!
The hardest part of the recipe is smelling the wonderful aroma of the tomatoes roasting and wanting to eat them. I placed mine on toasted french bread dribbled with olive oil and a sprinkle Maldon Sea Salt. I can only imagine how yummy they would be tossed over pasta or added to a salad. So many options, you may want to double the recipe!
