Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 fresh tomatoes
5 shallots, coarsely chopped
1/2 c olive oil
1/4 c balsamic vinegar
1 loaf of french bread, for dipping (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Core and slice tomatoes; arrange in shallow serving dish. Sprinklel shallots over tomatoes. Whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then pour over tomatoes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving (can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 3 days). Eat with French bread, and dip bread in marinade after tomatoes are done. You can add fresh cucumber slices around the tomatoes as well. And use warmed baguettes for the bread.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results. Heirloom tomatoes are a great choice, as they have a complex flavor profile.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a burst of flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the tomatoes, make sure to spread them out in a single layer in the pan. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Roast the tomatoes at a high temperature: Roasting the tomatoes at a high temperature will help to caramelize them and bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Add a little sweetness: A touch of honey or balsamic vinegar can help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Serve immediately: Roasted tomatoes are best served immediately, while they are still warm. However, they can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Roasted tomatoes are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be used as a side dish, a topping for pasta or pizza, or even as a spread for sandwiches. They are also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With so many different ways to enjoy them, roasted tomatoes are a must-try for any tomato lover.
