Sun-dried tomatoes with basil
Tomatoes are a very convenient product, they organically fit into almost any unsweetened dish - from salads and cold appetizers to sauces and soups, and baked or dried tomatoes with basil and spicy spices - a ready-made filling for a pie or topping for pizza. This is an original baked tomato snack on the agenda today. The main thing you should prepare for: sun-dried tomatoes with basil simmer in the oven for 10 hours with low heat. Thanks to this technology, tomato juices come out slowly, gradually mixing with the aromas of garlic and olive oil. Not the fastest dish, but believe me, incredibly tasty!
Ingredients:
- fresh basil;
- olive oil - 1/4 cup;
- salt and pepper - to taste;
- tomatoes - 12-14 pieces;
- red pepper flakes;
- garlic - 1 head.
