| Mmmm...a double batch. |
I couldn't think up a spectacular use for them, so I kept it simple and made a quick lunch (if you can count a lunch as quick when one of its components takes three hours to roast) of goat cheese and tomatoes on toast.

FFwD: Slow-Roasted Tomatoes
I made Dorie's Slow-Roasted Tomatoes (pg 342 of Around My French Table) for the first time a few weeks ago. French Fridays With Dorie selected it as the first recipe of August, and that was all the encouragement I needed to roast these sweet little babies up again. They're delicious bursts of deep tomato flavor, and I want them to be available to me at all times.
This time, I roasted them up with extra cloves of garlic, because the tomatoes that butt up against the garlic and take on its flavor are my favorites. I added a sprig of basil in addition to the thyme and rosemary that the recipe calls for.
I couldn't think up a spectacular use for them, so I kept it simple and made a quick lunch (if you can count a lunch as quick when one of its components takes three hours to roast) of goat cheese and tomatoes on toast.
I jarred the remainder and covered them in oil. There they sit, in my fridge, waiting to be mixed with pasta...or fish...or chicken...or put in an omelette...

ReplyDeleteTo reply to your comment ... the rav's are from costcto ... shhh! :)
ReplyDeleteI think a double batch of this recipe will always be in order!
ReplyDeleteWhat is that they say about great minds again?
ReplyDeleteI loved this one and it just pairs so beautifully with goat cheese! Happy to hear that it was a hit in your house as well.
Very nice! I like your "quick lunch"!
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed your next post - I'm a Civil Servant for the Navy - the Seabees, specifically - and my dad was in the Navy for 30 years, so I've been around it my whole life!
Mmm I like the omelette idea! Though the toast is indeed quick and easy.
ReplyDeleteI have some left and I have got to try them with goat cheese! I am with you - I love the ones that were closest to the garlic. I like your idea of adding basil to this recipe.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to serve with goat cheese. I agree with you. I'd like these to be available to me at all times too.
ReplyDeleteYum! Serving them with goat cheese sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteDouble yum, love the tomatoes on goat cheese;-)
ReplyDeleteI'd love the goat cheese just drizzled with the tomatoey oil. I'll never make anything but a double batch again, especially since there is room in my jar for more!
ReplyDeleteStunning idea of adding to goat cheese and a baguette. Perfect - just like this "non" recipe. Nana and I really enjoyed this and while I made a double batch, she fired up the oven again today to make even more. Yay !
ReplyDeleteDefinitely agreed that it needed more garlic.
ReplyDeleteThe combo with goat cheese was a great idea. I made a second batch of these and used them on grilled veggie pizzas - that was good...
Slow-roasted tomatoes with goat cheese - that's downright decadent!
