I propose to prepare for the winter a jar of dried tomatoes - a spicy snack originally from Italy. For drying at home, choose fleshy varieties of tomatoes with a small juice content. “Cream" will fit perfectly. It turns out very tasty, I recommend it!
Ingredients
Step-by-step cooking recipe
Wash tomatoes, cut into quarters, remove dense cores.
Place the chopped tomatoes in a deep bowl, add salt, sugar and dried basil, pour in olive oil. Gently mix and leave for 10-15 minutes.
Put the tomato slices at a small distance from each other on a baking sheet covered with parchment and greased with vegetable oil and send it to dry in the oven at a temperature of 60-70 ° C for 2-3 hours.
I advise you not to increase the heating of the oven so that the tomatoes languish, and not bake. Tomatoes are ready when the juice ceases to stand out on the surface when pressed with your fingers.
Transfer the finished dried tomatoes to a sterile jar.
Combine olive oil with chopped garlic and bring to a boil.
Pour boiling oil over tomatoes in a jar. Immediately seal the jar tightly and send it to a cool, dark place.
