Roasted Tomato & Caper Salad

These Ottolenghi roasted tomatoes on their own are actually the best bit of this salad - and they go with nearly everything; on their own, with salad, with veg, on top of fish, pasta... need I go on?

Ingredients

  • Tomatoes
  • Capers
  • Red Onion
  • Lettuce
  • Herbs (optional)
  • Dressing

Pre-heat your oven to 180˚c

Chop your tomatoes into quarters (if bigger) or halves (if cherry)

Cover a baking tray with greaseproof paper, brush with oil and put your tomatoes on top, brushing them with oil too (very lightly ‘brush’; you don’t want tons of oil here)

Sprinkle with salt and some Thyme and put in the oven for around 20 to 25 minutes.  You kind of want them to dry out more than cook; but if you keep your eye on them you’ll spot them at their most delicious

I added these tomatoes to a big leafy lettucey salad with fresh tomatoes, red onion and some capers.  With pizza, it was fab
