Roasted Onion And Cherry Tomato Compote Recipes

Steps:

• In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, add the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, honey, vinegar, herbs and red-pepper flakes (if using), and stir to combine. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and a few generous grinds of pepper. Cook on low for 6 hours, until the tomatoes are wrinkled, sweet and very soft, and some have burst. Remove the herb sprigs and squeeze in the lemon juice. Taste, and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. You will need an ovenproof skillet On medium heat, coat the skillet with a thin layer of olive oil. Add the onions and cook until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for about one minute, being careful not to let it burn. Turn off the heat. Add the thyme and season, to taste, with kosher salt & fresh cracked pepper. Add the tomatoes. Add the white wine. If not using white wine, drizzle with a little extra olive oil. Place the skillet in the oven, and roast until the tomato skins "pop"-- about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven. NOTE: You can cook this entirely on a stovetop, but I think that roasting gives the tomatoes an even sweeter flavor. If desired, you can even add a little balsamic vinegar. Serve as a side dish, or blend with cooked angel hair pasta. Garnish with fresh Parmesan or Romano cheese, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, arrange tomatoes and onions in rows, overlapping slightly. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until tomatoes are lightly browned and onions are tender, about 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil, and spread tomatoes cut side up on sheet. Season with sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Scatter thyme and garlic on top, and oven-dry for 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, in a medium sauté pan, heat olive oil. Add onion, season with salt, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until very tender and golden brown, about 35 minutes.
• Cool tomatoes, then peel and place on a cutting board. Finely chop tomatoes with cooked garlic. Place in a bowl. Pull oven-dried thyme leaves off their stems and add to tomatoes; discard stems. Add sun-dried tomatoes, onion and basil to bowl and combine. Taste compote, and add salt and pepper if needed.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add cherry tomatoes; toss to coat.
• Spread cherry tomatoes in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast until skins are slightly shriveled, 35 to 40 minutes.
