Thanks Susan! I'm going to have to look for a recipe, it sounds like a good summer dish.
Thank you for sharing your CSA recipes. I have found some real keepers. This recipe is particularly timely, since I am being swamped with cherry tomatoes right now.
I was also inspired by the idea of sharing a recipe when I share food from my gardenwith my friends. I now print out a recipe of two for each vegetable that I bring.
Alea- I love the idea of bringing a recipe with you! And I'm glad you've enjoyed some of the recipes that come with our CSA. I'm going to try this one because we've been getting a lot of cherry tomatoes and I also have two plants. And that parmesan tomato tart we've had twice, I think I would eat it every week if it wasn't packed with butter and cheese.
I am making these today and am very excited to try them!! A quick question though...how do you store them and how long have you found them to last? I have A LOT of cherry tomatoes, but I don't want to end up having to take a picture of these wonderful roasted beauties for food waste Friday.
Hi Amanda- I just made them the other night for the first time so as to avoid wasting some cherry tomatoes. I didn't even use the garlic (which would be good) just cut in half and sprinkled with salt and pepper and fresh thyme. They were delicious- I ate several and then put the rest aside for lunch the next day. I think you could safely keep them in the fridge for a few days.
Well, I don't know what I did wrong...I just popped my head in to look at them (they had only been in the oven for 1 hour) and a good portion of the tomatoes and garlic are burnt :( Any thoughts as to what I should have done differently? I followed the recipe just as written...
Amanda- Oh my goodness, I just noticed that the recipe called for 2 1/2 hours! That's a long time! I wonder if that's supposed to make them like sun-dried tomatoes, all shriveled up? I just ate mine roasted, took them out after maybe 25 or 30 minutes. I'm sorry yours burned. I wouldn't think they would at such a low temp, but I've never tried the recipe that way. Sorry! I just always post the recipe that comes with our CSA because they sound so good, I've tried most of them but not all.
