Ingredients




5 small-medium tomatoes
1 teaspoon of rock/black salt
3 tablespoons of olive oil
5 garlic cloves
10 black pepper corns
2 teaspoons of dried basil

Preparation

1 Cut the tomatoes into quarters (If they are really tiny, cut them into halves). You may want to remove the seedy pulpy center of the tomato - I haven't. 2 Pat each quarter with a tissue to take away any excess moisture. 3 Pummel your rock salt into smithereens and make about 1 teaspoon of rock salt powder. 4 Smash up your garlic cloves and pepper corns. 5 Combine the garlic, basil, pepper, and salt. Add the olive oil and mix well. 6 Dip each tomato quarter into your oily mixture and lay on a tray. 7 Cover with a net or fine cloth and lay out in the sun to dry.
