Dried tomatoes
Ingredients :
Italian tomatoes
coarse salt
olive oil
dry oregano
Mason jars and covers (rings)
Preparation:
Cut tomatoes in two and remove
water and seeds.
Lay out the tomato open side up on a cookie sheet. Salt a little.
Put in the oven at 125°F or 150°F with the door half
opened.
Bake for 10 hours (we can put 2 cookies sheet at the same time
on the center shelf).
Check often on the tomatoes and move it around if the heat is
not the same all around.
When tomatoes are dried, soak them in a bowl filled with white
vinegar for 30 minutes stirring gently.
To extract the vinegar, lay lightly the tomatoes in a strainer
and shake it (do not over dry it).
Put the moist tomatoes in a jar (Mason) with sealed covers, add
oregano (dried) and cover completely with olive oil before closing.
Keep it in the closet as long as it's not open (Wait 2-3 months
before using).
Once it's open, refrigerated.
