This is a useful side dish to have on a cold wintry night when tomatoes
are not at their best. The slow roasting at very low heat greatly improves
their flavor; by the end of the baking rime they are almost caramelized.
For an easy pasta sauce, double the recipe and process in a food
processor or blender.
Preheat oven to 300F (150C). Insert a whole garlic clove in the stem end
of each tomato. Place tomatoes stem end down on a small baking sheet
lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Spray tomatoes as well; sprinkle with
salt and pepper. Bake for 2 hours, until tomatoes begin to caramelize.
Remove from oven and transfer tomatoes to serving plates. Sprinkle with
fresh basil or parsley.
Makes 4 servings.
