Slow Roasted Tomatoes

I’m just going to join the masses and extol the awesomeness of slow roasted tomatoes.
I’ve been making slow roasted tomatoes all summer long, and I put in almost everything; salads, pasta, soups, salsa, sandwiches…

That’s what I’ve been doing with my juicy tomatoes from the farmers’ market, it’s so simple yet so much more.
Roasting tomatoes, slowly at a low temperature intensifies the flavour of the tomatoes.
Sweet and savoury, it adds a rich and robust flavour to any dish it’s added to.

Frankly, they’re better than sun-dried tomatoes, I’m working on even more recipes to try them in, I’m thinking it’ll be awesome in a pesto.
