Already missing those garden-fresh vegetables, especially the lovely, truly vine-ripened tomatoes you can only get in the summer? Well, try this on for size to warm up your long winter evenings...
Buy some of those tomatoes the grocery store has now - cherry, regular size - doesn't matter much.
Cut out the stem end, slice them crosswise about 1/2" thick, and gently ease out as much of the moisture in the pockets as you can.
Make a slurry of finely shredded Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and one of the following: thyme, oregano, marjoram or parsley (dried or fresh).
Lightly grease a large baking pan. Place the tomato slices in the pan, then drizzle the slurry over the tomatoes. Roast them for 2 hours or so in a 300' oven. They will turn out with the most wonderful tomato-y, herby, summery flavor. Serve them as they are (or gently smash them into a sauce) and serve them with pasta, roasted chicken, a great steak or anything else.
Easy and super yummy.
Trust me!
