Instructions

2. Remove stems and seeds from tomatoes, cut into quarters.
3. Put the chopped tomatoes on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Brush the tomatoes with oil and sprinkle with salt, just a little bit.
4. Preheat the oven to 60-100 C, put the baking sheet in the oven, slightly opening the door (moisture will evaporate faster).
5. Cook the tomatoes for about 3-5 hours, depending on the oven. The tomatoes should have reduced considerably in size, be pliable and slightly moist.
6. At the bottom of a clean jar (no need to sterilize), put dry herbs, garlic and pour oil.
7. Fold the tomatoes tightly, tamp a little and pour oil so that it completely covers the tomatoes.
8. Close the lid well and place in a dark, cool place.
Bon appetit!

• store the opened jar in the refrigerator, just make sure that the oil covers the tomatoes, otherwise they will go bad
• ideal if the tomatoes will be dried in the sun and not in the oven
• olive oil can be easily replaced with odorless refined sunflower oil
• removed residues (seeds and pulp) can be used to make tomato sauce
