Oven Dried Tomato

Personally, I prefer savory pastry more than sweet pastry. Savory is for adults & sweet is for kids. No doubts, it is a very clear sign that age is catching up.

Oven dried tomato is easy to make. It is very versatile to use in many ways. You can use it in salad, bread making, pizza or pasta. The taste is very similar to sundried tomato with a bit of smoky flavour. Instead of sundried, I oven dried it in a more control environment. The Italian love to sundried it & it is packed with flavours.

Ingredients:

A mix of red cherry tomato & yellow cherry tomato (250g)

Method:

Preheat the oven to 100’C, cut the cherry tomato into half, and put it in the oven for almost 2 hours. It needs to be oven dried slowly & you do not want to burn it.

After that, remove it from oven & cool completely. After the oven dried process completed, the tomato should weight about 100g.

You can keep the oven dried tomato in a glass jar, soaked in sunflower oil. It would be able to keep well for at least a month.
