    1/2 tsp Salt
    2 cups Extra-virgin olive oil
    1 Garlic clove, peeled and spl
    1 Sprig fresh basil

    Recipe



    Conventional Oven Method:

    Preheat the oven to 250F. Lay the tomatoes on a lightly greased flat dish and sprinkle them with salt. Bake them for 2 hours, 15 minutes. They should be wrinkled and dry around the edges, but the centers will be slightly soft and pulled away from the skin. Remove them with a spatula and drop them into the oil. Add the garlic and basil leaves. Poke all the slices down into the oil until they are completely covered. When they are cool, seal and store in the refrigerator.

    Microwave Method:

    Lay the tomatoes on a lightly greased flat dish and sprinkle with salt. Microwave the slices on medium, uncovered, for 35 minutes. The edges of the tomatoes will be wrinkled and dry, but the centers will be slightly soft and pulled away from the skin. Pour the olive oil in a jar and add the tomato slices, one by one. Drop in the garlic clove and immerse the basil in the oil. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
