Confit comes from the French word confire which means literally "to preserve," a confit being any type of food that is cooked slowly over a long period of time as a method of preservation.  You can serve this Cherry Tomato Confit, and the flavorful oil, on bruschetta, in a pasta toss, on pizza, in sandwiches, as a steak topper, or in a whole-grain bowl.

  • Prep: 10 mins
  • Cook: 1 hrs 30 mins
  • Yields: 15 Servings

Ingredients

3 pounds cherry tomatoes

¾ cup olive oil

1½ teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

10 garlic cloves, sliced

8 large thyme sprigs

Directions

1Preheat oven to 275°F. Spread tomatoes onto a large rimmed baking sheet. Add oil, salt, pepper, and garlic; toss gently to coat. Tuck thyme sprigs into mixture. Bake at 275°F until tomatoes are wilted but not all have burst, 1½ to 2 hours.
