Slow Cooked Tomatoes Food

SLOW-ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
• Arrange the tomatoes, cut side-up, in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and scatter with the thyme sprigs. Bake until the tomatoes are slightly shriveled but still plump, about 5 hours.
• Use the roasted tomatoes right away or layer with fresh thyme sprigs in a resealable container and cover with oil. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

SLOW-ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with thyme leaves; season with salt and pepper.
• Roast until tomatoes begin to collapse, brushing occasionally with pan juices, about 90 minutes. This can be made ahead and reheated in the oven at 325 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.

SLOW COOKER TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Place tomatoes, onion, garlic, and olive oil in a slow cooker. Season with oregano, basil, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon.
• Cover, and cook 10 to 15 hours on Low. The longer you simmer it the more flavorful it becomes. At 10 hours it's really good, but at 15 its even better.

AMAZINGLY SWEET SLOW-ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Put the halved tomatoes in a bowl and toss with the olive oil. Oil a rack that will fit on top of a baking sheet. Place foil on the baking sheet and oil the foil, and place the rack on top. Place the tomatoes, cut side up, on the rack. Sprinkle with coarse salt and a tiny amount of sugar. Place in the oven and roast for 2 hours. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for about 30 minutes. The tomatoes will look a little dry on the surfaces and the skin will be tough. But when you bite into the tomatoes you'll experience a rush of incredibly sweet juice and pulp. If you want to use these for a sauce, put through the fine blade of a food mill.

SLOW-COOKED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Can be made up to 2 days ahead. Heat oven to 120C/fan 100C/gas ½. Halve the tomatoes widthways and place, cut-side up, in a roasting pan. Peel the garlic cloves and slice very thinly into slivers. Put a sliver on each tomato, season and scatter over thyme or rosemary leaves. Sprinkle each with sherry vinegar, then with balsamic vinegar and finally with olive oil. Bake for 2-3 hrs until soft and slightly shrivelled. Remove and cool.

SLOW-ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F.
• Put tomatoes, cut sides up, in 2 large shallow baking pans. Combine garlic and oil and spoon over tomatoes. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and roast in oven 6 to 8 hours (tomatoes will be reduced in size but will retain their shape). Cool tomatoes.

SLOW-COOKED CHERRY TOMATOES WITH CORIANDER AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Toss tomatoes, garlic, rosemary, oil, coriander seeds, and salt in a shallow 2-qt. baking dish to combine.

SLOW COOKER TANGY TOMATO POT ROAST

Steps:

• Scatter the prepared potatoes, carrots, and onions in the bottom of a slow cooker.
• On the stove top, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef roast on both sides until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Place beef on top of vegetables in slow cooker.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Pour over the roast. Scatter the fresh thyme sprigs over-top.
• Place cover on slow cooker and cook on low for about 6-8 hours, or until beef is fall-apart tender.
• Remove roast to a cutting board and cut in to slices. Meanwhile, combine cornstarch with water and stir in to gravy with vegetables and let cook for a few minutes until gravy thickens a bit. Taste gravy and season with additional salt and pepper, as needed. Return meat to slow cooker. Gently stir to coat with gravy. Allow to cook a few minutes to re-warm the meat, then remove all to a large platter or bowl to serve. Garnish with some chopped fresh parsley.

SLOW COOKER STEWED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Wash and core the tomatoes; place in boiling water for about 15 to 20 seconds, then immediately into ice water to cool quickly. Peel (they should peel easily after the boil/quick-cool).
• Cut tomatoes in wedges.
• Place tomato wedges in slow cooker. Top with all remaining ingredients; stir lightly to mix.
• Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours.
• Remove the bay leaf when cooking is done.

SLOW-COOKED TOMATOES WITH BASIL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1. Spread the tomato halves over 2 large baking trays, cut-side up. Season with salt and pepper, scatter with the herbes de Provence and drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast in the oven for about 3-4 hrs, or until semi-dried and intensely red. They should be dry in the middle and have a chewy texture - the best way to test is to try one. Place a small basil leaf or piece of torn basil on top of each tomato half for the final hour of cooking.
• Heat the oil and peppercorns in a saucepan. Pack into jars or heatproof containers (as before) and cover with the oil. Keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.

• Return the skillet to med-high heat and repeat with 2 more teaspoons oil and the remaining pork.

• Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the meat is tender.
• Let the sauce settle for 5 minutes, then use a wide spoon to skim the fat off the surface.
• Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the pieces of meat.
• Before tossing the sauce with cooked pasta, discard the bay leaves, stir in the parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Spray inside of slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Add steak to bottom of slow cooker.
• Add diced tomatoes, garlic, chopped onion, green pepper and mushrooms
• Cook for 6-8 hours on low or until meat is tender.
