Cherry Tomato Confit

Cherry tomatoes slow-roasted in a luxurious bath of olive oil, garlic and herbs! This flavorful condiment can be used so many ways like; tossed with fresh pasta, spooned over grilled fish or slathered across crusty bread with whipped goat cheese!

Notes

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:
  • Cherry Tomato Confit will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. Store in an airtight container.
