Cherry tomatoes are simmered gently in olive oil until tender, rich, and extra delicious.

Stovetop Cherry Tomato Confit

300 g ripe cherry tomatoes (halved or whole)

extra virgin olive oil (use the good stuff!)

fine sea salt (plus more to taste)

garlic (peeled and trimmed, or)

thyme

basil

oregano

saffron

prep

Add the olive oil and tomatoes to a skillet and set over medium heat.

cook

When tomatoes just start to sizzle a little, immediately turn the heat down to medium low. Add ¼ teaspoon of salt and any garlic, herbs or spices you’d like to include.

Cook over low to medium low heat for 60 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to keep the tomatoes at a bare simmer. You should see bubbles coming up in the olive oil, but barely. Stir gently every 8-10 minutes.

test

At the 60 minute mark, taste your tomatoes and make sure they are very tender and the flavor is concentrated and rich. Sometimes larger cherry tomatoes need a little more time.

adjust seasoning

Just before your tomatoes are done, taste and adjust the sodium level.

store

Remove any garlic or herb sprigs from your confit and cool for 10-15 minutes before using or transferring to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.

I made this with some cherry tomatoes I forgot about from the farmer's market. SO great on fresh bread

So flavorful and perfect for dipping! Thanks!

This one was really yummy and super easy. Like all recipes, it lies a little bit on time and takes about an hour but most of that was passive time.

I absolutely love this recipe! I've made it twice exactly as written and it does not disappoint! I wish I had made a double batch last time I made it so I could have leftovers!

Big crowd pleaser and very easy. Great for bringing to a summer dinner party!

This was so easy to make and perfect for a hot summer day! I made a double batch for my coworkers and everyone loved it!

I always make this when I have tired fresh tomatoes—cherry or otherwise. So easy and good

This is just brilliant. Can't wait until they are in season to make this on repeat.

This was DELICIOUS! Everyone loved it. Will definitely make again.

Fast and easy! Also it really held up for a couple days in the fridge which was great
