VESUVIUS TOMATOES
Ths recipe comes from Rialto at The Charles Hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts. These well-seasoned roasted tomatoes are delicious as a warm salad topper, or chopped up in pasta, or added to soup. The original recipe calls for much more olive oil, but I like it like this.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 250.
- 2. In a large frying pan, put onions, garlic and add enough olive oil to just cover. Cook over moderate heat until onions are tender. Put tomatoes in a roasting pan large enough to hold them in one layer. Add cooked onions, garlic, basil, salt, red pepper flakes and sugar. Toss well. Add enough oil to come halfway up to the tomatoes. Roast for 3 hours, uncovered, until tomatoes are tender but not falling apart. Stir once during roasting. This can be made 1 -2 days in advance.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes for the best flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the tomatoes evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the tomatoes in the pan when roasting them, or they will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the tomatoes at a high temperature to caramelize the sugars and intensify the flavor.
- Season the roasted tomatoes with salt, pepper, and herbs to taste.
- Use roasted tomatoes in salads, pasta dishes, pizzas, and more.
- Store roasted tomatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
