Oven Roasted Garlic & Herb Tomatoes

Less of a recipe and more of an ‘ooh, I must just use up those tomatoes’ these are great as they are as a side dish, or whizzed up into a glorious pasta sauce, or even a dip.

Ingredients:

All the tomatoes you need to use up

1 Bulb Garlic

3 Springs Thyme

2 Bay Leaves

50ml Olive Oil

Salt flakes and cracked Black Pepper

Method:

1. Preheat oven 180C. cut the top 1cm from the garlic bulb then tumble all ingredients, stalks and all onto a baking tray. Adding the tomato stalks will impart a glorious greenhouse flavour to the finished dish.

2. Roast for 20-30 minutes, or until just beginning to collapse.

3. Remove from the tin, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves over the tomatoes. Remove the herb and tomato stalks before smooshing everything together with a spoon.

4. Add a sprinkle of salt and a grating of black pepper and you are good to go!
