Discard the herbs then transfer the tomatoes, garlic and oil to an air tight container. Store in the fridge for up to three weeks.
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions:
- Tomatoes: Red, yellow or orange tomatoes.. it doesn't really matter! As for variety; cherry, grape or Sungold tomatoes are all great.
- Herbs: You can really play around with the herbs in this recipe or even leave them out all together. I like to use a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme but fresh oregano and basil are also delicious!
Storing and Re-heating Leftovers:
