Ingredients

Cooking process

step 1 out of 10
For the preparation of sun-dried tomatoes, it is necessary to choose ripe and firm tomatoes with a dryish meaty filling. These varieties of tomatoes lend themselves well to drying and do not emit a lot of juice. We wash the tomatoes under a stream of warm running water, put them on a towel and leave them for 10-15 minutes to dry.
step 2 out of 10
Cut the tomatoes in half, remove the stalk. If the tomato pulp is watery, remove it with a teaspoon so that it does not give excess moisture to the tomatoes, as it will increase the drying time of the tomatoes.
step 3 out of 10
Put the chopped tomatoes on a plate, cut up, salt and leave for 30-40 minutes.
step 4 out of 10
After the tomatoes have squeezed out, put them on a paper towel with the cut down and leave for 2-3 hours to remove excess juice.
step 5 out of 10
We lay out the tomato halves in the trays of the electric dryer so that there are small gaps between them for air circulation.
step 6 out of 10
On the dryer, set the mode for drying vegetables, if you have a temperature adjustment, set it to 70 degrees. We close the lid and press the "Start" button. Every 1-2 hours, it will be necessary to change the levels of the dryer in places: we put the lower ones up, the upper ones we go down, so that the tomatoes at different levels are equally dried.
step 7 out of 10
After 12 hours of continuous operation of the dryer, the tomatoes should not release moisture when pressed and should not break. The tomatoes are completely ready.
step 8 out of 10
In a saucepan, mix vegetable and olive oil (if you wish, you can use only olive oil), put on fire and heat until hot, but do not boil. Add spices to hot oil, stir, cover and leave to cool to room temperature.
step 9 out of 10
We wash jars for twisting tomatoes with baking soda, add 1-2 tablespoons of running water to each jar and put them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes for sterilization. After the jars have cooled down a bit, put a few slices of garlic on the bottom, then put the sun-dried tomatoes tightly, add a couple of pinches of salt, hot pepper and balsamic vinegar to each jar. Pour warm flavored oil into each jar and close tightly with boiled lids.
step 10 out of 10
Store the finished sun-dried tomatoes in the refrigerator.After a couple of days, sun-dried tomatoes will be saturated with the aroma of Provencal herbs and spices, and you can taste them. Bon Appetit!
