    What is Tomato Confit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Confit is a French culinary term that means “to preserve” food in its own fat. The process involves slowly cooking the food, whether it’s meat, fruit, or vegetables, at a low temperature in a generous amount of olive oil or rendered animal fat. It’s a preservation process that deepens the food’s natural flavors while protecting it from harmful bacteria and extending its shelf life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
