Slow Cooked Tomatoes Recipes

SLOW-COOKED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Can be made up to 2 days ahead. Heat oven to 120C/fan 100C/gas ½. Halve the tomatoes widthways and place, cut-side up, in a roasting pan. Peel the garlic cloves and slice very thinly into slivers. Put a sliver on each tomato, season and scatter over thyme or rosemary leaves. Sprinkle each with sherry vinegar, then with balsamic vinegar and finally with olive oil. Bake for 2-3 hrs until soft and slightly shrivelled. Remove and cool.

SLOW COOKER TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Place tomatoes, onion, garlic, and olive oil in a slow cooker. Season with oregano, basil, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon.
• Cover, and cook 10 to 15 hours on Low. The longer you simmer it the more flavorful it becomes. At 10 hours it's really good, but at 15 its even better.
