Slow-Roasted Tomatoes

By altschiller

Ingredients

• 4 pounds plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°F.

Put tomatoes, cut sides up, in 2 large shallow baking pans. Combine garlic and oil and spoon over tomatoes. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and roast in oven 6 to 8 hours (tomatoes will be reduced in size but will retain their shape). Cool tomatoes.

Cooks' note:
Roasted tomatoes keep in an airtight container, chilled, 2 weeks. Bring to room temperature before using.
