I wanted to make delicious dried tomatoes to eat as they are, rather than to store, so I topped them with garlic and parsley (or basil).
They will be definitely delicious if you use nice tomatoes.
If you get hold of fully ripe sweet tomatoes, please give this a try. They are delicious in a different way from fresh ones.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Wash the cherry tomatoes well, take off the stems, and cut in half horizontally.
* Step 2
Line a plate or wicker platter with paper towels, and arrange the cherry tomatoes, taking care not to let them overlap.
* Step 3
Lightly sprinkle salt all over. After awhile, liquid will seep out from the tomatoes.
* Step 4
Remove the liquid on the tomatoes with paper towels thoroughly.
* Step 5
Finely mince the garlic and parsley (or basil), remove excess moisture, and mix together.
* Step 6
Put a small amount of the garlic parsley in the middle of the tomatoes using chopsticks. Place them in a sunny place, and dry them for more than half a day.
* Step 7
They are dried. Adjust the drying time until the tomatoes reach your desired level of dryness. If you would like to enjoy as they are, semi-dried tomatoes which retain a soft texture are delicious.
* Step 8
【Sun-drying】Basically, you need to dry the tomatoes in the sun, but if they aren't dried by the end of the day, be sure to bring them back inside the house.
* Step 9
【Oven-drying】Dry the tomatoes in the oven at 120℃ for 60-90 minutes. The drying time varies depending on the size of the cherry tomatoes.
* Step 10
【Finishing】After oven-drying, place the tomatoes somewhere with good ventilation for awhile. After sun-drying, dry the tomatoes in the oven for 20-30 minutes.
* Step 11
Dry the tomatoes whichever way you like. Using an electric fan is also very effective.
* Step 12
【To store in the fridge】Put the dried tomatoes in a container with a lid, and store in the fridge. You can store them in the freezer as well.
* Step 13
【Dried tomatoes in oil to store】Dry the tomatoes well, marinate in extra virgin olive oil, and store in a cool dark place (in the fridge in summer).
* Step 14
【Variation recipe】Using the dried tomatoes in oil, "Short Pasta with Dried Tomatoes and Green Peppers"
* Step 15
【Variation recipe】Using the dried tomatoes stored in the fridge (or in the freezer), "Spaghetti Aglio e Olio Peperoncino with Cucumber and Celery"
