I mentioned the worm farm<\/a> before. Turns out, if you feed them bits of tomato, you get a garden full of tomato plants. And that leads to lots and lots of tomatoes :-)<\/p>\n

Only one thing to do! Deb’s slow roasted tomatoes<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"S6301886r\"<\/p>\n

Halve tomatoes (this takes a helluva long time). Cover with oil and herbs (I did this in a bowl).<\/p>\n

\"S6301887r\"<\/p>\n

Spread on baking sheet.<\/p>\n

\"S6301888r\"<\/p>\n

Roast for three hours at a touch over 100C.<\/p>\n

\"S6301892r\"<\/p>\n

This took care of about two thirds of the tomatoes. Here’s the rest, covered with boiling water…<\/p>\n

\"S6301894r\"<\/p>\n

… and skinned (this, also, is a helluva job). The skins etc goes back to the worms, of course.<\/p>\n

I used these to make tomato bredie<\/a>. Used beef, this time (a 1.1 kg hunk of silverside, cut into cubes), did the flour thing<\/a>, did the space thing<\/a>, and eventually did the dumplings thing<\/a>. No pictures, we were too hungry by then :-)<\/p>\n

And by the looks of things, there’s about twice as many tomatoes still on the way…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
