I'm sure you already know how much I love sharing recipes, both classics and those that break away from the traditional way they’re usually eaten.

There are combinations that are fabulous, resulting in a delicious, flavor-packed dish. One of them is cheese with tomato and pesto, which can be served as an appetizer accompanied by toasted bread slices or as a perfect starter. This burrata with a colorful cherry tomato salad and homemade pesto is an ideal dish.

Today we confit tomatoes. They are a delight—have you tried them? When confiting, tomatoes are cooked at a low temperature so they don't burn or fall apart. Also, by confiting them, the nutritional properties and natural flavor of the tomatoes are preserved, while their acidity is reduced and they develop a sweeter, milder taste. 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 dishes and more. Have I convinced you yet?
