I bought some tomatoes on Sunday. Actually, I bought LOTS of assorted cherry and Roma tomatoes. Simply because they were pretty! I spent hours scouring Pinterest for tomato recipes this week as a result. In that process I came across
Smitten Kitchen's post for slow roasted tomatoes.
"What?" you ask, incredulously. "You turned on your oven for three hours during this heatwave?!"
Well, as Smitten Kitchen tells us, slow roasting the tomatoes won't add that much more heat to your already too hot kitchen.
