Slow-Roasted Tomatoes

These slow-roasted tomatoes are a store-cupboard revelation, transforming simple tinned Italian plum tomatoes into something truly special. By roasting them slowly with a touch of sugar and butter, the flavours concentrate and the edges become beautifully caramelised. This process creates a rich, jammy texture that balances sweet and savoury notes perfectly, making it an excellent vegetarian staple to keep in your repertoire.

This versatile dish works wonderfully as a sophisticated side or a flavour-packed topping for crusty sourdough and creamy ricotta. Whether served warm from the oven or at room temperature, these tomatoes add a punch of umami to salads and pasta dishes alike. It is a simple, cost-effective way to elevate basic ingredients into a gourmet accompaniment.
