Tomato Confit Charcuterie

Tomatoes are gently simmered in a balsamic vinegar and olive oil. This simple tomato condiment is incredibly versatile—complementary enough to serve alongside breads and cheeses, yet hearty enough to serve by itself with an appetizer fork. 

Ingredients (Serves about 8)
2-3 varieties of cured meats
2 hard cheeses
1-2 soft cheeses
Tomato Confit, (see recipe below)
store bought pickles of choice or homemade pickled onions
pitted olives
whole grain mustard
apple slices
crusty bread, lightly toasted

Tomato Confit
½ cup vomFASS Don Carlos Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp vomFASS Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp vomFASS Rosemary Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup vomFASS Platinum Aceto Balsamico
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
Crusty bread

Directions
Tomato Confit:
Place Don Carlos Extra Virgin Olive Oil, tomatoes, and vomFASS Plantinum Aceto Balsamic in sauce pan.
Cook on medium heat and bring to a simmer.
Simmer for 20 minutes until the tomatoes are softened and the balsamic reduced. 
Once reduced, fold in Rosemary and Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oils. 
Serve warm with crusty bread.

While tomatoes are simmering, place other ingredients on a wooden board or large platter.*
Leave enough room on the board for the bowl of tomato confit or serve confit in individual ramikins.

*This can be done ahead of serving time if you cover and refrigerate. Allow 1 hour to warm back to room temperature before serving for maximum enjoyment.
