Tomato Confit
Ingredients
10 Roma tomatoes, halved
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 whole head garlic
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
Roast at 300°F for 2½–3 hours, then squeeze the roasted garlic into the tomatoes and mash everything together.
I like the extra tablespoon of oil because you’re creating something closer to a spreadable confit than a roasted tomato side dish.

Potato Cheese
Ingredients
1 lb russet potatoes, peeled and diced
4 tbsp nutritional yeast
3–4 roasted garlic cloves
1½ tsp white vinegar
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
Black pepper to taste
¼–⅓ cup reserved potato water (add gradually)
Blend until smooth enough to pipe.
