I accidentally discovered confit tomatoes, and was blown away. Delicious oven-caramelized cherry tomatoes with a unique flavor. They can be a perfect appetizer, but they are widely used in many recipes. The term confit comes from the French confire, meaning to preserve. This term is used for all types of fruits and vegetables that involve prolonged cooking at low temperature. Easy to prepare, delicious to eat. Perfect as a side dish, paired with bruschetta, savory pies, or just as they are

Preparation of confit tomatoes
Wash the cherry tomatoes, dry them with a towel. Cut them in half and place them on a baking tray previously covered with parchment paper.
Prepare a mixture of thyme and garlic and spread it over the tomatoes, continue with the sugar, oregano, salt, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce, finally put a drop of oil on each tomato. Bake in a preheated oven at 392°F for about half an hour, then at 320°F for an hour, or until the water has completely evaporated, giving a slightly roasted appearance but not completely dry.
