Ingredients: Ripe vine tomatoes Bread Garlic (optional) Sea salt and freshly ground pepper Olive oil
Method: Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Cut the tomatoes in half and place into an oven proof dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil, a sprinkle of salt and a grind of pepper. Roast in the hot oven for up to 10 minutes. Lightly toast any sort of bread you have - it all works well. Drizzle the toast lightly with olive oil and rub with a little garlic.
