We are going to prepare some tomatoes A la Provecal. Provecal means baked in oven with some fresh herbs, salt, pepper or herb de provence.
We have some beautiful tomatoes, I am going to remove his part because it is never good to eat, very simple, I am removing a little bit of the skin here and then I am going to slice the tomato in three pieces because if you split the tomato in half, when you are going to bake it, it is going to take 15 minutes. By slicing it in three pieces, it will take about eight minutes to be cooked.
And I am going to season the tomatoes, black pepper, salt. The seasoning part is the most essential part of the cooking. Since it is so important, we are going to seasoned both sides, just have to brush your tray with some oil, and I am going to place the tomato in the tray, so nice herb de provence and herb de provence are made of oregano, thyme, rosemary, sometimes you find lavender in it, fenen seeds and it gives an incredible flavor. A lot of olive oil, you will see with the water of the tomatoes is going to become caramelize and juicy and it is going to be incredible in terms of flavor.
I put my tomatoes in the toaster oven, it is under a broil, our tomatoes are almost cooked and I am going to put the sliced garlic and we are putting it other end because it would have burned if we started it in the beginning, they will be ready very soon.
In the mean time, I am going to slice some fresh basil. When you have many leaves of basil and you roll it without pressing too much on the leaves, you can slice your basil in a very nice julienne chiffonad and you make sure that you always slice the herbs of the last minute. That way, they do not oxidized the flavor is very fresh and fragrant.
Let us check our tomatoes, use a little knife, you go through the flesh and when the knife comes back easily, it means it is cooked. I am going to be very delicate. A little bit of the fresh basil on top. I always like to drizzle some of the oil coming from the tray because as you can see here, the tomato caramelized, it is very tasty, fresh tomatoes, toaster oven, eight minutes, delicious.
