Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Feature Image by Derek Bissonnette

While good slicing tomatoes are nearly impossible to come by in winter in Maine, roasting the cherry tomatoes grown in hothouses here gives cooks an easy means of adding more umami to low-meat dishes. Use these roasted tomatoes in both the Rainbow Chard Saag Paneer and Lamb, Chickpea, and Hummus Bowls.
