Tips - -
Make large batches when tomatoes are in season, then freeze them for
use during winter. Serve them in a sauce over whole wheat pasta, on
a sandwich or in a green salad.
3 lb plum (Roma) tomatoes
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp basil, dried
2 tsp Chef Meg's Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp black pepper, cracked
Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
Remove the top and bottom of the tomatoes. Slice to remove the seed
area. Discard the inner flesh and seeds. Cut the slices into 2 inch
strips. Combine all remaining ingredients and toss with the tomatoes.
Roast for 1 1/2 hours on a roasting rack. Remove from oven and allow
to cool. (If not using a convection oven, the tomatoes will take about
2 hours.)
