Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
20 tomatoes -- peeled (to 30 tomatoes)
3 tablespoons olive oil -- (to 4 T.)
salt -- to taste
2 garlic cloves -- minced
1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves -- thinly sliced

Heat the olive oil over medium-low heat in a pan large enough to just hold the tomatoes in one layer (use two pans if necessary). Add the tomatoes, sprinkle lightly with salt, then cover and cook for about 10 minutes. Carefully turn the tomatoes over using a spatula so that you do not break them up.

Cover and cook 10 to 15 minutes longer or until they shrink to about half their original size. As the tomatoes cook, the oil will first become cloudy and filled with juices, then it will return to an oil-like state, but with a golden color. Sprinkle the garlic into the hot oil with the tomatoes at the end of the cooking.

Using a spatula, remove the tomatoes from the pan and place them on a plate. Pour the pan juices over the tomatoes and serve them sprinkled with fresh basil, accompanied with crusty bread to dip into the juices.

Serves 6 to 8.

Peeled and slow roasted in olive oil, tomatoes become concentrated in flavor. in the Languedoc you might find them as a first course during the height of tomato season, with crusty bread to dip into the olive oil-rich juices. this is quintessential Midi fare, the sort of thing brought to your table without your asking, while you decide on what you will order from the ubiquitous wood-burning stove.

Such summery fare slips down deliciously with a chilled Bandol rose wine.
