Fabulous Tomatoes Just Got Even Better!!  So many lovely tomatoes around now in Farmers Markets that I have made one too many Tomato Tarts, Tomato Pies, and Feta and Tomato Salads. I need to save some of those lovely little guys for another time.

So, this is a really good way though not new or unique. If you already do this, consider this a reminder. Little cherry tomatoes are best for this but I also use Roma if they are not too big. Simply (I love recipes that start with that word!) slice the tomatoes in half and toss with some good olive oil and spices you like. I use Basil, Oregano, and garlic salt. Use as many as you like. Let this rest a bit then arrange on a rack with foil underneath and bake at 300 degrees until they are all dried out. Place in a jar and cover with your favorite olive oil and put in the fridge. These keep quite a while, but always check to be sure they are fresh-I use the sniff test. The oil should smell fresh and you should be able to smell the tomato scent and the spices.

Use these in pasta, salads, and my special favorite, pasta salads.  Enjoy!

PS-If you are using Roma tomatoes, slice them into rounds.
