I confess that I am in love with focaccia, whatever the way it is seasoned. Seasoned only with extra virgin olive oil, a little salt and rosemary, I find it delicious both to accompany some cheeses or the salad of the meal, and to eat it as it is. If you like it as much as I do, I invite you to prepare this recipe for Mediterranean focaccia, which with a touch of ham is delicious.

Today we confit tomatoes. They are delicious, have you tried them? When confiting, the tomatoes are cooked at a low temperature so that they do not burn or fall apart. But also, when candied, the nutritional properties and natural flavor of tomatoes are preserved, but their acidity is reduced and they are given a sweeter and softer flavor. The end result is a delicious preserve that can be used in a wide variety of dishes, such as sauces, stews, pizzas, green salads, pasta and more. Have I convinced you yet?
