Best Slow Cooked Cherry Tomatoes With Coriander And Rosemary Recipes
SLOW-COOKER TOMATO COMPOTE
This savory compote - a typically sweet, slow-simmered fruit preserve - is a delicious way to eat cherry tomatoes, especially those that are on the verge of being too soft. But it's also a great way to intensify the flavor of middling supermarket cherry tomatoes in the winter. Either way, the sweet-tart tomatoes can build super-quick meals: Put them on top of ricotta or avocado toast, or squish them into a grilled cheese. Toss them with hot or cold pasta. Use the oil and juices in salad dressings and the tomatoes in the salad itself. The compote can be used right away, but it's best the next day and will keep in the fridge for at least a week. Feel free to throw in any hardy, woody herbs you like, but don't add very delicate herbs like basil, chives or dill before cooking. You can add a handful of those softer herbs before serving, if you like.

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:
- Can be made up to 2 days ahead. Heat oven to 120C/fan 100C/gas ½. Halve the tomatoes widthways and place, cut-side up, in a roasting pan. Peel the garlic cloves and slice very thinly into slivers. Put a sliver on each tomato, season and scatter over thyme or rosemary leaves. Sprinkle each with sherry vinegar, then with balsamic vinegar and finally with olive oil. Bake for 2-3 hrs until soft and slightly shrivelled. Remove and cool.
SLOW-ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES WITH BASIL OIL
When you roast cherry tomatoes, they caramelize and become even sweeter. This dish was inspired by a huge pile of roasted red and yellow cherry tomatoes that a friend served at a dinner party recently; they were drizzled with diluted pesto and placed alongside a luxurious mound of burrata. You can serve these as an appetizer (have napkins close by) or side dish, or tossed with pasta. You can easily multiply this recipe, but you won't have to use much more olive oil to coat the tomatoes. This gorgeous emerald-colored oil is a condiment that you can keep in your refrigerator for up to a week. Keep it in a squeeze bottle, and drizzle it over tomatoes, fish, chicken or other vegetables. It looks beautiful on a white plate, and a little goes a long way.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Place the tomatoes in a baking dish large enough to fit them in a single layer. Add the salt and sugar, and toss together. Add the regular olive oil, and toss again. Place in the oven for 45 minutes until the skins have shriveled and just split; the tomatoes should still be still intact. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Fill a medium bowl with ice water. Place the basil in the boiling water, and blanch for 15 seconds. Remove with a skimmer, and transfer to the ice water. Drain and squeeze out excess water, then place on a clean dish towel and again squeeze out as much water as you can. Place in a blender with the olive oil. Blend one to two minutes until the olive oil is green and tinged with flecks of basil. Transfer to a squeeze bottle, and refrigerate.
- Arrange the tomatoes on a platter. Drizzle the bright green basil oil decoratively around and over them, and pour on any juices from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
