From a fantastic award winningregional cookbook from the Junior League of North Harris County (Houston). It is called Texas Ties, and I have NEVER had a bad recipe from the book. I have not tried this one, but it sounds yummy.
Ingredients:
18 small roma tomatoes
3/4 cup chopped fresh basil
7 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup olive oil
kosher salt
Directions:
1. Cut tomatoes in half lenghtwise.
2. Arrange the tomatoes cut side up in a shallow baking pan. Sprinkle with the basil and garlic; drizzle with the olive oil.
3. Bake at 200 degrees for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The tomatoes are done when shriveled but still moist.
4. Cool to room temperature. Season with salt to taste just before serving.
5. Note: this is supposed to be a good pizza topping, pasta topping, or as an dition to grilled cheese sandwiches or tossed green salads.
