Tomatoes

We have had an abundance of cherry tomatoes this summer, which is delightful for all of us , mostly Atticus!

In wondering what to do with all of these little pods of yumminess, a friend suggested I slow roast them...so I did. (Thanks Mary! Mary also provided us with the magic plants;))

 I put them in the oven on a cookie sheet at 250 degrees for a couple of hours sprinkled with olive oil, minced garlic and rosemary. Then, once they were ready, I took them out, put them in a jar, and covered them with vegetable oil (about 1/2 cup?)...and into the fridge they went. I didn't really have time to prepare a meal with them for about a week... so when I did, I drained them and set the oil aside. 

With the tomatoes I was able to make tomato sauce, then I used the seasoned oil to fry up some panko crusted chicken, and then came the greatest treasure: I popped some popcorn on the stove with the remainder of the oil then topped with Parmesan cheese. It was honestly one of the most savory things I've eaten in a long time! 

Lots of rambling...all to lead tho this glorious bowl of popcorn!

Try it out and Enjoy!
