Roasted tomatoes
Roasted tomatoes
A super-versatile way with cherry tomatoes. Eat as a side to grilled chicken or halloumi and asparagus. Stir into spelt or pearl barley with other roasted Mediterranean veg and a spoonful of pesto. Combine with white beans, slow-cooked onions and torn basil. Pep up your pasta with them and a generous grating of Parmesan... Before roasting you could trickle over a little balsamic vinegar for a more sweet-sour finish.
