KATHE'S BAKED PLUM TOMATOES WITH OLIVE OIL AND BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Coat a shallow baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Arrange the halved tomatoes, cut side up, snugly in the dish and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper.
• In a small bowl, drizzle the bread crumbs with 2 tablespoons of the oil and combine with the Parmesan, herbs, garlic, shallot, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Top each tomato half with about a tablespoon of the bread crumb mixture. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over the tomatoes, and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until they are tender and slightly shrunken and the bread crumbs are golden brown. The riper the tomatoes, the shorter the cooking time will be.
• Preheat the oven to 300°F.
• Remove the crust and cut the bread into roughly 1-inch cubes. Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake, tossing them once or twice, until they are crispy and dry but without much color, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely. Then grind, in batches, in a spice mill until fine. Keeps frozen for several months.
