Dried Cherry Tomatoes

For some reason, I did not get the opportunity to work with sun-dried tomatoes; every time I saw a recipe asking for dried tomatoes – I reminded myself that it was worth a try, but somehow it never happened.

Until one day, a co-worker told me she had received from a blogger-celebrity a voucher for a sandwich at the Ramat Aviv mall: Sourdough bread, sun-dried tomatoes, roquette, and some goat cheese (which I still miss – but work on a vegan version!).

At this point, the salivary glands had their say: “You bring the bread and I the rest” We quickly agreed on the terms of the deal.

We spread slices of bread in vegan butter, sprinkled a pinch of Truffle Salt, chopped Tasos Olives, dried tomatoes, and vegan Camembert. Finally, we topped it all with Roquette leaves.

To celebrate the occasion and create the right atmosphere, we wrapped the sandwiches in an old newspaper-like paper, as served in cafes.

At last, I was motivated to make homemade dried tomatoes!
I took cherry tomatoes of different colors, cut them lengthwise, placed them on a baking sheet, and sprinkled them with rosemary salt.

I baked the tomatoes in the oven for 4-5 hours on low heat, depending on the size of the tomatoes. Then, I transferred them to a jar, and the celebration began:

I add dried cherry tomatoes to Spaghetti Aglio e Olio, vegan butter, sandwiches, etc.

Enjoy and let me know how it turned out ❣️
