Ingredients
500 g cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
200 g extra virgin olive oil
100 g fresh basil
5 g salt
1 pinch of oregano
Procedure
Wash the tomatoes and the fresh basil, cut the tomatoes in half and put in the pot, alternating every
layer with a leaf of basil. When the pot is full, put the oil to cover, a pinch of salt and oregano.
Close the jar loosely and put in the oven for 45 minutes following the chart.
When the cooking is done, tighten the cap to create the vacuum inside, so you can keep
the jar at room temperature.
Chef tips
Tomatoes cooked in this way will be very fragrant, and the taste will be so intense,
ready to be used in every dish you like. During the winter months, you can use some
garlic instead of the basil. The result will be much tastier and the perfect side for a meat dish.
If you don’t like the garlic taste, you can leave it whole inside the jar or you can use some fresh
sliced onion.
