Slow Roast Tomatoes | Veg Box Recipes with Basil & Tom’s
Here’s our first recipe for making the most out of your veg box, in collaboration with Basil & Tom’s, Acton’s wonderful community greengrocer.
Make a batch of these each week and you will have the makings of a lovely salad, sandwich, topping for a dahl, rice bowl, soup, yogurt dip, stir through for pasta, blitz for a marinade – all at your finger tips!
Slow Roast Tomatoes
- Pre-heat the oven to 160˚C (150˚C fan) and line a flat baking sheet with baking parchment
- Slice enough tomatoes through the stalk (into halves if small/medium or quarters if large) to cover your baking sheet in a tight single layer
- Lay cut side up on the tray
- Toss with oil, salt, pepper and thyme sprigs (or experiment with other herbs – lemongrass makes a really unusual change)
- Roast in the oven for anywhere between 1-2 hours depending on size and desired consistency
- Once cooked to your liking, taste and adjust sweetness if needed with a little maple syrup
- Store in a jar or container covered in a film of best quality extra virgin oil in the fridge for up to a week (if they last that long!)
Watch out as your addiction takes hold…🍅
