Last Saturday,\u00a0 Shooting Star Farm<\/a> was selling 20 lb. boxes of tomatoes.\u00a0 If you’ve been following the blog from the beginning, I have a penchant for buying produce in massive quantities from the farmer’s market.\u00a0 My favorite time to go is when they have just opened and everything is perfectly laid out (and I can get all the eggplants to myself!).\u00a0 Keith likes to sleep in on Saturday mornings but he was kind enough (with only a few hours of complaining) to go with me so that he could carry the box while I proceeded with my shopping.\u00a0 What a sweetheart.<\/p>\n

We decided to make tomato confit using a recipe from a cooking class we took at L’Etoile<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

RECIPE<\/p>\n

Slice tomatoes in half and remove seeds by squeezing gently.\u00a0 Drizzle with olive oil and add minced garlic (Tory Miller<\/a> used thyme).\u00a0 Season with salt and pepper.\u00a0 Put tomatoes on a couple of cookie sheets.\u00a0 Dry in a 170 degree oven overnight (about 8-10 hours*).\u00a0 Store in olive oil.<\/p>\n

*If you use tomatoes larger than Roma it may take up to 18 hrs.\u00a0 We learned our lesson and the house smelled like an Italian restaurant for a couple of days.<\/p>\n

The dried tomatoes tastes incredible as is but we will be posting a main dish soon.\u00a0 What do you think about a Mascarpone Cheese and Tomato Confit Ravioli<\/em>???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
