Tomato Confit

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300°F. Wash and dry the tomatoes.

Step 2

In a small baking dish, add the cherry tomatoes, garlic, salt, thyme, and olive oil. Mix to combine. Transfer to the oven to bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until tender with a fork (if not tender, cook 5 to 10 minutes more). Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

If serving with tahini yogurt sauce, stir together the ingredients for the sauce, then spread it in a layer onto a plate and top with fresh herbs, serving with bread or crostini for dipping. The confit is also great served over burrata as an appetizer, as a pizza topping, in a sandwich, and more.
