I like to dry my own tomatoes, says Michel Nischan. That way, I can control the moisture content and have tomatoes that are moist, meaty, and syrupy with the concentrated flavor of sun-dried tomatoes. Ripe peaches, figs, cherries, apricots, and nectarines can also be dried using this method. Use good-quality aged balsamic vinegar to bring out the sweetness of the fruit. Ingredients:
6 medium tomatoes, halved (about 1 1/4 pounds) |
2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil, divided |
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese |
12 rosemary sprigs |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 200°.
2. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet; set aside.
3. Combine tomatoes, 1 tablespoon oil, and vinegar; toss gently. Place tomatoes, cut sides up, on rack. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Bake at 200° for 6 hours or until tender and slightly syrupy (do not overbake or tomatoes will be tough and chewy). Remove from oven; cool completely. Place 1/2 teaspoon cheese onto each tomato half. Fold slightly; secure each tomato half with 1 rosemary sprig. Place on a serving platter; drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
