Eric Ripert Makes Tomato Confit à la Eater

After winning the 2010 Eater Award for Television Personality of the Year, chef Eric Ripert promised a suitable recipe. And here it is: Tomato Confit à la Eater.

Ripert's recipe: "Peeled can tomatoes baked on tray at 275*: 2 hours w slice garlic+branches Rosemary & thyme + season + EVOO. Baste often=Tomato confit a la @eater." Of course it requires a gentle touch. He explained his approach: "In homage to my @eater award : a can of gorgeous tomatoes and in homage to the tomato I kept the tomatoes whole and treat them like Queens."
