Therefore, most housewives prefer to make sun-dried tomatoes in the oven for the winter, the recipes for the dish cannot be distinguished from the original and are very easy to cook. The main thing is to use the "right" tomatoes and choose the optimal temperature regime for drying. What should you pay attention to to make the snack juicy?

Practical advice

The juiciness depends on what kind of tomato is used for harvesting. In this case, the fruits should be just not juicy, because all the liquid will evaporate in the process. And dense, fleshy, thin-skinned tomatoes - then the appetizer will be juicy.

Best for curing varieties San Marzano, Prince Borghese and the well-known "cream" of ours.

From spices, you can use whatever you like, according to personal taste, even dill with parsley. But it is an Italian appetizer that will turn out if you season vegetables with basil, thyme, marjoram, oregano or rosemary. The same goes for olive oil. However, given its price, it is quite possible to replace it with vegetable or dilute it by half with it.

Do not rush and speed up the procedure by adding power in the oven and shortening the cooking time. Drying should take place at a temperature of about 90 ° C for 5 hours.

Dried tomatoes are best in an electric oven. In modern technology, it is possible to set the exact temperature. And not all gas ovens will allow you to withstand the optimal mode. And there is a risk of getting dried candied vegetables instead of a jerky snack.

• basil;
• rosemary;
• Provencal mixture.

Send to the oven for 5 hours, setting the temperature to 90 ° C. When ready, heat 0.5 tbsp. vegetable oil, peel and cut the head of garlic into thin slices. Now you can put the tomatoes in a jar, sprinkle them with herbs and lay out a couple of garlic cloves. It remains to pour everything with hot oil and close the lid, and after cooling down, send it to the refrigerator.

In recipes without the peel, everything is done in the same way. Only the fruits, before being cut, are immersed in hot water for a couple of minutes. Then carefully cut and peel them off.
