Cherry tomatoes confit

There are days when you don’t feel like cooking up a meal. Cherry tomatoes confit is an easy fix for those days. It is not possible to predict and be prepared. However, occasionally I tend to cook a little extra sauce or prepare a preserve that might come in handy. 

Cherry tomatoes are in season and are pretty cheap; I decided to prepare a batch and ended up making two. I tend to make smaller batches that gets over in a week. It is super simple and needs just a handful of ingredients. Honestly, all you need is a bottle of good quality olive oil, cherry tomatoes (preferably sweet ones), garlic, and salt.

Some fresh herbs add to the flavor. I also used part olive oil and part leftover sun-dried tomatoes oil.I had a large bottle of sun-dried tomatoes, which got used up, leaving behind the fantastic oil loaded with flavors. 

I add tomato confit to my pasta, salads, toasts, etc. I just toast some excellent quality bread slices and serve with the tomato confit for those lazy days.
