SLOW-COOKER TOMATO COMPOTE



Slow-Cooker Tomato Compote image

This savory compote - a typically sweet, slow-simmered fruit preserve - is a delicious way to eat cherry tomatoes, especially those that are on the verge of being too soft. But it's also a great way to intensify the flavor of middling supermarket cherry tomatoes in the winter. Either way, the sweet-tart tomatoes can build super-quick meals: Put them on top of ricotta or avocado toast, or squish them into a grilled cheese. Toss them with hot or cold pasta. Use the oil and juices in salad dressings and the tomatoes in the salad itself. The compote can be used right away, but it's best the next day and will keep in the fridge for at least a week. Feel free to throw in any hardy, woody herbs you like, but don't add very delicate herbs like basil, chives or dill before cooking. You can add a handful of those softer herbs before serving, if you like.

2 pounds cherry or grape tomatoes (about 4 pints)
4 garlic cloves, smashed

Remove the herb sprigs and squeeze in the lemon juice. Taste, and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

TOMATO COMPOTE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Tomato Compote Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pints cherry tomatoes (mix orange or yellow pear tomatoes for more color)
1 small vidalia onion (yellow or white is fine, too)
1/4 cup white wine (I use Sauvignon Blanc)
1 to 2 garlic cloves, sliced thin
2 to 3 springs thyme (about 3 to 4" long)
Kosher salt & fresh cracked pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese as a garnish (optional)
Olive oil (about 1 to 2 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. You will need an ovenproof skillet On medium heat, coat the skillet with a thin layer of olive oil. Add the onions and cook until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for about one minute, being careful not to let it burn. Turn off the heat. Add the thyme and season, to taste, with kosher salt & fresh cracked pepper. Add the tomatoes. Add the white wine. If not using white wine, drizzle with a little extra olive oil. Place the skillet in the oven, and roast until the tomato skins "pop"-- about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven. NOTE: You can cook this entirely on a stovetop, but I think that roasting gives the tomatoes an even sweeter flavor. If desired, you can even add a little balsamic vinegar. Serve as a side dish, or blend with cooked angel hair pasta. Garnish with fresh Parmesan or Romano cheese, if desired.
