Oven-Dried Tomatoes
Submitted by Joel Lafond,
Executive Chef with the Shaarey Zedek Synagogue Catering Department
If you are
like me, you have so many tomatoes coming out of your garden that you
don’t know what to do with them. This is a simple recipe for making your
own oven-dried tomatoes. They are good on pizzas, in sandwiches or in a
salad, just to give a few examples. You can also use fresh herbs if you
have some in your garden, but dried will work just as well. I find Roma
tomatoes work better just because they are smaller and won’t fall apart
as easily, but any tomato will do just as long as they are not huge. You
could always mix in some Pesto sauce instead of herbs. Experiment and
see what you like best. Enjoy.

Method
In a
bowl combine all ingredients with the thinly-sliced tomatoes.
Lay out the tomatoes on a rack over a sheet pan or cookie sheet.
Place in a warm oven at about 40º C (100º F) and allow to dry in
the oven for about 2 to 3 hours. Check periodically. Once they
are dry, turn oven up to 165º C (325º F) and just roast them
quickly for about 3 or 4 minutes once oven is up to temperature.
Allow to cool or eat them up right away.
