Confit Cherry Tomatoes

Makes a lot Prep Time 5 minutes   Cook Time 90 minutes   Rated:

Confit comes from the French term "to preserve", and tomatoes are the perfect (fruit) vegetable to store when preserved in oil, in your refrigerator after the days of summer are gone. They are cooked low and slow in (quite a lot) of olive oil, which preserves their texture and shape. This process also brings out their beautiful sweetness and infuses them with some amazing garlic and thyme flavor. They are fantastic on toasted sourdough, in salads, or tossed through hot pasta with lashings of grated parmesan. They work well in a caprese salad especially and are the perfect topping for grilled chicken or fish. So...time to get those tomatoes working for you...(You are going to love the fragrance of these cooking throughout your house!)
