Roasted Tomatoes
Ingredients
Tomatoes (red)
Thyme
Olive oil
Method
Slice the tomatoes in half. Lightly cover the base of a baking tray with olive oil and place the tomatoes on the tray. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle fresh thyme (or dried oregano) over the tomatoes and a little more olive oil. Bake in a hot oven 180�C until caramelised.
The tomatoes can be stored in a fridge until required or frozen. They can be used in salads or as tomato sauce.
Notes
This is a good way to use tomatoes which are slighlty past their best or not very tasty. The baking intensifies their flavour and makes them like sun-dried tomatoes.
The number of tomatoes used will depend on how much you want to make and how big your baking dish is. I usually do a large amount at a time.
