Chef Tips

- Dry the cherry tomatoes before putting them in the baking dish so that the olive oil caramelizes the skins without cooking in water. - Cut the garlic slices to medium thickness so they brown without burning in the 30 minutes of hot oven. - Serve directly in the baking dish with crusty rustic bread for dipping into the flavored oil.

Variations

- Add pitted kalamata black olives and capers to the baking dish along with the tomatoes. - Toss the al dente cooked pasta directly into the hot baking dish to turn the dish into a complete meal. - Drizzle 1 tablespoon of aged balsamic vinegar or pomegranate molasses over the tomatoes as they come out of the oven.

Substitutions

- The feta cheese can be substituted with crumbled fresh goat cheese, cured minas padrão cheese, or ricotta. - Cherry tomatoes can be substituted with ripe Italian tomatoes cut into quarters and drained. - Fresh rosemary can be replaced by fresh thyme leaves or fresh oregano.

How to Store

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, take to the small oven at 180°C for 8 minutes or in a covered skillet over low heat until the cheese softens again.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze only the roasted tomatoes with garlic and olive oil without the feta cheese for up to 60 days in a sealed container. Thaw and heat in the oven, crumbling fresh feta cheese only at the moment of serving.

What to Serve With

Ideal service with thick slices of sourdough bread, focaccia with coarse salt, penne al dente pasta, and a glass of light red wine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent the garlic from burning during the 30 minutes in the oven at 200°C?

Make sure the garlic slices are submerged in the olive oil or protected under the tomatoes in the baking dish, preventing thin slices from being exposed to the direct dry air.

Why is feta cheese not added at the beginning of cooking?

Adding feta cheese in the final minutes or right out of the oven takes advantage of the residual heat to soften the dough without drying out or burning the milk proteins.

What is the best tomato variety for this roasted recipe?

Sweet grape or red and yellow cherry tomatoes are best due to their high sugar concentration and firm skin that pops easily in the oven.

Can the oil left in the baking dish be stored?

Yes, this olive oil concentrated with caramelized tomato juice, garlic, and rosemary is an extraordinary seasoning to drizzle over toast, salads, or to finish risottos.
