Slow-Roasted Tomatoes from Osteria Mozza in Los Angeles

A traditional and delicious Italian meal is one of the most comforting meals everyone will enjoy so when I was gifted The Mozza Cookbook, filled with recipes from Los Angeles's hottest restaurant and pizzeria, I was ecstatic. It's one of my favorite LA eateries and Chef Nancy Silverton makes the BEST Caprese salad with slow-roasted tomatoes. It's To.Die.For! Chef Nancy won the 2014 James Beard Foundation Outstanding Chef of the year, so I must say she knows what she is doing. Unfortunately, I was criticized by a fellow blogger on my slow-roasted tomatoes picture on Instagram advising me to remove the stems when I roast tomatoes as leaving the stems on impart a bitter flavor.... rubbish. So it's A-okay to leave the stems on. The Mozza cookbook is a freaking awesome cookbook for any home cook as it gives you Italian food knowledge which helps you become an accomplished Italian cuisine cook. It makes me want to roll up my sleeves and make every single recipe in the cookbook. To purchase cookbook, click here.

ingredients

2  9-ounce packages of Sunsweet tomatoes on stems, or 1 pound sweet small  tomatoes from your local farmers market 
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt 
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper 

preparation 

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Gently remove the tomatoes from container or from your farmers' market bag, making sure to keep the tomatoes attached to the stems. Brush the tomatoes with the olive oil and season with the salt and fresh ground pepper. Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Roast the tomatoes until their skin is shriveled but the tomatoes are still plump, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool.  Once at room temperature, I like to use these for a caprese salad or puree them to make a delicious pizza or pasta sauce. Better yet, top on a bruschetta or fett'unta!   Enjoy! 


Thank you so much Mozza and Lindsay for the cookbook!

  1. My holiday to Corfu was ruined after missing my connection in Coach Outlet Clearance Frankfurt because they sold us flights with a connection that was impossible to make.And we weren the only people that this happened New Jordan Shoes 2020 to on the flight, either.The flights from London Stansted to Corfu with a short connection at Frankfurt were $180 cheaper each than flying directly, and Nike Air Force 1 Cheap Outlet we assumed a layover time of 90 minutes would be enough to change from flights.Once we had boarded the flight, it was delayed by an hour due to air traffic control delays.As we sat on the tarmac for an hour, not moving with the rest of the Coach Bags Clearance plane getting increasingly frustrated we Coach Bags Outlet asked Ryanair staff for reassurance.After all, our connection to Corfu was also on Ryanair, so surely they would be able to radio ahead and help us get quickly Cheap Ray Ban Glasses to our flight in Frankfurt once we got there?The staff laughed and explained that at Frankfurt we would need to go through security and passport control, as our next flight to Greece was not in the Schengen area.There was also a 15 minute bus ride from the plane to the airport and then back again to the next flight.The time between their first flight and the connecting flight, both with Ryanair, was too tight. Picture: AFP/Philippe HuguenSource:AFPWe might be able to make our next flight but only if it had also been delayed in Frankfurt.So the website had sold these packages to MK Outlet at least three separate groups on one route within two days.We eventually arrived Michael Kors Outlet Store an hour late into Frankfurt, giving us half an hour to get off the plane and onto the next one, so of course we missed our flight.A woman in a ticket office called Ryanair for New Yeezys 2020 us who gave us a flat on booking us onto the next flight for free.Ryanair told the woman that we should have left a 150 minute window in order to transfer.They weren't the only passengers who had become stranded at Frankfurt airport as a result of the short window between flights. Picture: AFP/Daniel RolandSource:AFPThey were the cheapest option, and we weren the only people booking them, how many more people are booking flights that leave them stranded?.
