Moonblush tomatoes

 

This recipe is perfect for this time of year I had a glut of cherry tomatoes and although have made this before forgot how tasty it was. It's also good if you come across reduced punnets of cherry tomatoes it really transforms them. 

The recipe is from Nigella Lawson and is barely a recipe but once you have made these little flavour bombs I know I can't leave them alone. The best bit is that you put them in the oven then turn the oven off so I always make these in the evening after having the oven on so don't waste the energy from having the oven on. 

These don't go dry like sun dried tomatoes but the way of cooking just massively concentrates the tomato flavour and they are really versatile. You can have them just to snack on or pop them into pasta sauces or on toast or in a sandwich whenever you like a really delicious tomato taste. 

Moonblush tomatoes 

Cherry tomatoes (halved or if you have larger ones just cut them smaller) 

oil

Italian dried herbs such as oregano or basil or whatever you fancy

chopped garlic 

salt and pepper 

Put oven on at Gas 6/200/400

Place the tomatoes in an ovenproof dish and drizzle with oil (or spray oil if using) sprinkle over the dried herbs, garlic and season well with salt and pepper.

Put the dish into the oven and then turn oven off immediately and leave overnight with the door closed and in the morning you will have these delicious juicy, tasty tomatoes. 

Sorry not for exact amounts but it depends what you have to hand x
