You’re probably planning on going to the farmer’s market today, right?\u00a0 If so, it’s the perfect time to go ahead and buy that huge box of tomatoes, any kind you want.\u00a0 For ourselves, we bought some beautiful striped Roma tomatoes (I didn’t even know\u00a0of this variety)\u00a0from Yellow Barn Farm<\/a> purely for its loveliness.\u00a0 They also happen to\u00a0taste as good as they look. \ud83d\ude42 Tomato confit is our favorite way of enjoying local tomatoes in the cooler seasons.\u00a0 The recipe is from chef Tory Miller of L’Etoile<\/a>.\u00a0 We have made them in the late summer three years in a row now.<\/p>\n

RECIPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Preheat the oven to 170 degrees F.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Quarter the tomatoes and take out most of the seeds.\u00a0 (Doing so will leave you with less liquid which will speed up this very slow process just a little bit.)<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Place as many tomatoes as you can on two sheet pans.\u00a0 Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with a bit of salt, and scatter a bit of thyme (you can also add some minced garlic if you’d like).<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Leave the tomatoes in the oven for about 8-9 hours.\u00a0 (It’s best to do this overnight.)<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 The tomatoes should have the texture of soft leather and not dry and crunchy.\u00a0 Place them in a jar and fill to the top with olive oil.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Store in the refrigerator and enjoy anytime.\u00a0 (We’ve used them for sauces, soups, stews, tapenade,\u00a0or to eat as is.<\/p>\n

Voila!<\/em><\/p>\n
