  5. You can use cherry tomatoes as you would regular tomatoes. But as you asked for a recipe, here it is (keep in mind that any monkey can go to a website and copy and paste a recipe; whereas this recipe is tried and true and very simple):

    slice cherry tomatoes in half and put in a bowl. add mini balls of mozzarella cheese (you can find at specialty markets or even Costco), add chopped basil and minced garlic. Toss with good balsamic vinegar and add sea salt to taste. You can add anchovies if you’d like, but I prefer to leave them out. Serve at room temperature for best flavor. Call it a insalata caprese picola

    As for salsa, it’s like underwear. Everyone’s choice is different.

  6. Oven Dried Cherry Tomatoes

    1 pound cherry tomatoes
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    1 teaspoon sea salt

    Remove tomato stems then rinse tomatoes in water and let dry. Slice tomatoes in half. Place on metal baking sheet. In a small bowl combine olive oil and salt. Brush sliced tomatoes with mixture.

    Bake in 250-degree oven for 1 to 2 hours. Remove from oven after one hour is you want plump tomatoes, 2 hours if you want them chewy/crisp. Serve as a snack, or add to pasta with olive oil and parmesan cheese, or freeze in tightly sealed bags.

  7. I put loads and loads of them in a baking dish and add a generous amount of olive oil, some salt and pepper and some dried basil, perhaps a little chilli, then mix it all up and bake in a hot oven for around 15 minutes. Cool them a little and then eat them with salad, they are great with cold salad potatoes and chicken.
