Between the aroma that permeates the kitchen and the satisfaction of smearing a heapful over a hefty slice of bread, I love a good confit. The spicy chili peppers against the sweet cherry tomatoes and the fragrant garlic cloves are a winning combination. Don’t worry, this isn’t unbearably spicy. It’s actually milder than it looks.
Heat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place all the ingredients in a small ovenproof dish. Pour in olive oil – it should just cover the mixture. Bake for two hours or until fragrant and fork tender. Serve with good bread.
