Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil, and spread tomatoes cut side up on sheet. Season with sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Scatter thyme and garlic on top, and oven-dry for 4 hours.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, in a medium sauté pan, heat olive oil. Add onion, season with salt, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until very tender and golden brown, about 35 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Cool tomatoes, then peel and place on a cutting board. Finely chop tomatoes with cooked garlic. Place in a bowl. Pull oven-dried thyme leaves off their stems and add to tomatoes; discard stems. Add sun-dried tomatoes, onion and basil to bowl and combine. Taste compote, and add salt and pepper if needed.

A real crowd pleaser. This is better than the Italian tomato bruschetta as it is easier and less messy to eat at a party and just as tasty
