This salad features tomatoes slowly roasted with olive oil and garlic until sweet, then served with lor (Turkish whey cheese) and basil. The confit technique takes patience but produces a concentrated flavor.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the tomatoes

10 min

Arrange the tomatoes in a baking dish, cut sides facing up. Drizzle with the olive oil and add the garlic, thyme, and salt.

2

Roast slowly

75 min

Bake in a preheated 140°C / 285°F oven for 75 minutes, until the tomatoes have shrunk and caramelized.

3

Assemble the salad

5 min

Transfer the warm tomatoes to a plate and crumble the lor (Turkish whey cheese) over them. Garnish with basil leaves and drizzle with the olive oil from the pan.

Reminder

Do not set the oven above 140°C / 285°F; at higher heat, the tomatoes will dry out instead of becoming confit. Contains dairy.

75 dakika pişirmeme rağmen domateslerim tam büzüşmedi, sonunda 90 dakikaya kadar çıkardım; fırınım 140 dereceyi biraz düşük tutuyor olabilir. Lor yerine keçi peyniri de denedim, kremamsı doku çok iyi gitti.
