Small bowl Big Flavour

Every day seems to have turned into a roasting day. Not the weather. Although today did oblige but tomatoes.

Having got over my reluctance to incarcerate tomatoes behind a slammed oven door , I now can’t stop.

I’m indebted to Linda , a deeply experienced grower who also knows how to turn her produce into delicious and inventive food, for some ideas to start me off.

Here’s her simple method for slow roasting tomatoes.

Cut and place skin side down, sprinkle with muscovado sugar, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a good quality oil ( try olive or extra virgin rape seed).

annoited and waiting

Place in the oven for 2 hours at 100c.

worth the wait

Eat straight from the oven and experience the wow from the tomato and a wee hee hee from the sugar.  And a boo hoo hoo when you realise the bowl is not bottomless !

Shrunken Delights

Small but intense

Hello,
I seem to now be roasting everything ! It’s amazing how it intensifies the flavour. Even something like courgettes which have a mild taste when steamed become a whole other sensation when roasted.

These look gorgeous – for a bit of variety though you could try my recipe and roast them in lime juice with garlic, chilli and basil – its way nicer than it sounds, I promise.
