Ingredients

Cooking process

step 1 out of 8
For this type of preparation, it is necessary to choose dense tomatoes with a fleshy core, preferably of the same size - small. We have chosen the type of cream. Rinse the tomatoes with cool water, put them on a towel to dry, or wipe them dry with a towel. Cut each tomato in half and use a teaspoon to remove the core (cores from tomatoes can be folded into a tray and frozen, and used in soups and stews in winter).
step 2 out of 8
Put the finished halves on a paper towel with the cut down and leave for 15-20 minutes so that it absorbs excess moisture.
step 3 out of 8
We spread the tomatoes on several levels of the electric dryer so that there is little space between the halves for air circulation.
step 4 out of 8
Sprinkle the tomatoes lightly with salt and spices. We set the levels on the dryer and set the drying mode for vegetables or the temperature of 60-70 degrees. The number of hours to dry depends on the size of the tomatoes and the temperature in the dryer. On average, this takes 6 to 14 hours. The levels in the dryer must be rearranged every 1-1.5 hours.
step 5 out of 8
Ready-made sun-dried tomatoes should be firm, bend, smell good and not ooze when pressed. When ready, turn off the electric dryer and leave the tomatoes to cool.
step 6 out of 8
Put the cooled tomatoes in a sterilized jar and add garlic.
step 7 out of 8
At this time, we will start preparing a fragrant dressing: pour two types of oil into a saucepan (if you want, you can use only olive oil, but this option will be more expensive). Add salt and Italian herbs to the oil. Stir and heat the oil, but do not boil. Pour the hot aromatic oil into a jar so that it covers all the tomatoes. It is necessary to lightly tap the bottom of the can on the work surface several times so that all air bubbles come out. Close the jar tightly with a lid, let the oil cool and put the sun-dried tomatoes in the refrigerator for storage.
step 8 out of 8
After 3-4 days the tomatoes will be soaked in aromatic oil and spices and will be completely ready to eat. Bon Appetit!
