Oven-dried cherry tomatoes with herbs

2 servings

160 minutes

Oven-dried cherry tomatoes with herbs are a vibrant representative of Italian cuisine, embodying its simplicity and sophistication. Initially, sun-dried tomatoes were used as a way to preserve the harvest, but over time they became a standalone delicacy. The tomatoes are slowly baked at low temperatures, allowing them to retain their natural sweetness and rich flavor, while aromatic herbs and spices add spicy Mediterranean notes. Dried cherries perfectly complement pasta, salads, antipasti, and are also served on toast with goat cheese and basil. Soaked in oil and spices, they become even more intense, while the piquant garlic and hot chili pepper add a slight spiciness. This dish is a small gastronomic masterpiece that embodies the warmth and richness of Italian traditions.
