Its been a bright blistering sun in Bangalore lately and the perfect time for drying. So I decided to dry out some tomatoes in the yard. Halved some of the Roma and quartered the others depending on how I could de-seed them and left them out to dry in the sun. With this being the driest month in Bangalore since 1988, the tomatoes dehydrated completely in just three days. The smarter half had seen a recipe where the sun dried tomatoes were boiled in vinegar and then stored in olive oil. So decided to give that a try. I boiled the tomatoes with some black pepper, garlic cloves and marjoram in vinegar.
With Arnav in my mom's place Rahul and I decided to go to Russel Market to check out the stained glass and Mosaic in the church there. Going all the way to Russel market and not going to Adams ( a store famous with the restaurateurs in Bangalore) and the market would be a sin, so bought some glass jars at Adams for the sun dried tomatoes and Rahul's Feta. Now we finally have nice jars to put stuff in!!!
The tomatoes have a wonderful sweet sour taste, and with time I think the EVOO should also flavour it.
