Dried Tomatoes in Oil

Preparation:

Preparation: Clean the tomatoes, remove the stalk and wash them well under running water. Then, cut them in half and arrange them cut side up on a wooden plank. Lightly salt the half tomatoes and place them outside in the sun for at least 4-5 days to let them dry. Warning: protect them with a large, tightly meshed gauze (like a mosquito net), otherwise the insects will wreak havoc! After this period, peel the garlic clove, clean it, cut it into slices and put it in the vase where the tomatoes will be placed. Also add the piece of chilli pepper and the oregano to the jar. Finally, add the dried tomatoes. Cover the tomatoes with olive oil and close the jars hermetically. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, wrap the jars in a cloth and simmer them for 25 minutes to sterilize them. With this original preparation, dried tomatoes become very appetizing. They are perfect for enriching sauces and salads or pasta.
