| 1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. | 2. Peel the tomatoes, halve them the long way and remove the seeds. | 3. In a baking pan, place the tomatoes cut side down on a rack. Roast in the oven until the tomatoes have shriveled to about half their original size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove the pan from the oven and let the tomatoes cool. | 4. In a medium-size nonreactive bowl, combine the tomatoes, 1/4 cup of the olive oil, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. | 5. Set aside but do not refrigerate. | 6. Divide the cheese into four portions and sprinkle with the cracked pepper. | 7. In a large shallow bowl or gratin dish, pour 1/2 cup olive oil over the cheese. Add more oil if this does not cover the cheese. | 8. Sprinkle with the chopped oregano and let sit for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours, at room temperature. (If you wish to make it a day in advance, then refrigerate the cheese in the oil. Remove from the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving.). | 9. To assemble, carefully remove the cheese from the olive oil and place each piece on an individual plate. | 10. Drizzle with some of the olive oil in which the cheese was marinating. Place 4 pieces of tomato and 5-6 olives on each plate. | 11. Top with a sprig of oregano. | 12. You may assemble the plates up to 1 hour before serving and cover them tightly with plastic wrap. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
