FFWD: Slow-roasted tomatoes

I just searched through my old blog entries, sure I'd already written a post about these tomatoes.

Ha! And now let me tell you the hilarious story about how Blogger ate my post! I just wrote 2 extremely descriptive (and funny! oh, did you miss out!) paragraphs about my experiences with this recipe, and hit 'Publish Post' and got an error message. I signed back into Blogger, and only the photo and that one line are left. Someone out there does NOT want me to tell you about slow-roasted tomatoes. Which is sad, because they're simple and fantastic.

So, on to the abbreviated post. Slow-roasted tomatoes was this week's French Fridays with Dorie recipe. Since I've made these guys a bazillion times, I planned to post pics from my computer, but I haven't found the AFTER images on this computer.

To make these tomatoes, you slice grape or cherry tomatoes in half, spread them on parchment paper or a silpat, intersperse with unpeeled garlic cloves, and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. You can lightly salt and pepper them (not too much - there's a lot of concentrated flavor in these guys) and add some thyme or rosemary sprigs if you're feeling feisty. Roast them for 3-4 hours at 225F. You'll know they're ready when they look like the ones here (at some point, there will be a photo here, but for now you can click the link which leads to my favoritest cooking blog in the world).

UPDATED! Pictures!! Yum!

ADDENDUM: Ok, still didn't find any pics on this computer, except this photo of oven-dried tomatoes making everything better. This is my favorite go-to dish - packaged butternut squash ravioli in sage brown butter sauce, with oven-dried tomatoes and parm on top.

And thank you to the lovely Doristas and your kind words on my post-that-wasn't. I love looking at all your blogs and hardly ever comment, because my work computer does not like it when I try to post comments and I get frustrated and then I end up yelling at my patients. Not really, but still, it's best for me to avoid Blogger while at the office...
