Ingredients

8 plum tomatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 bunch fresh thyme
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Preheat the oven to 300°F. Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise and put them in a large bowl. Drizzle with a 4-count of oil. Toss in the garlic and thyme; season with salt and pepper.

Pour the oil from the bowl over the tomatoes and roast for 3 hours to concentrate their flavor. They should be shrunken and dry to the touch.
