I love making this recipe because I usually have some tomato confit stored in the fridge. It’s easy to make, it only takes some time and when you have enough in the fridge it can literally go over anything! Pasta, toast, or rice. What is confit anyway? According to Wikipedia, confit is a cooking term that describes when food is cooked in fat (oil) or sugar water (syrup), at a lower temperature, as opposed to deep-frying. While deep frying typically takes place at temperatures of 160–230 °C (325–450 °F), confit preparations are done at a much lower temperature, such as an oil temperature of around 90 °C (200 °F). The term is usually used in modern cuisine to mean long slow cooking in oil or fat at low temperatures, many having no element of preservation, such as in dishes like confit potatoes.
