These tomatoes are roasted slowly until tender and lightly shrivelled. Prepared with slivers of garlic, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of vinegars and oil, they make a flavourful side. This dish suits lunch or dinner and can be made up to two days ahead, pairing wonderfully with lamb.

Method

1. This dish can be prepared up to 2 days before you need it. Set your oven to 120C/fan 100C/gas ½. Cut the tomatoes in half widthways and arrange them in a roasting pan with the cut side facing up. Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly into small slivers. Place a garlic sliver on every tomato half, season, and scatter thyme or rosemary leaves over them. Drizzle each with sherry vinegar, followed by balsamic vinegar and finally olive oil. Bake for 2-3 hrs until the tomatoes are soft and slightly shrivelled. Take them out and allow to cool.
