Roasted Tomato & Pea Salad

These Roasted Tomatoes are so delicious, and for some reason go particularly well with peas! This is a great salad if you are eating white fish; and also good with tomato pizza or pasta.

Ingredients

  • Lettuce leaves
  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • Bowl of Peas
  • 1/4 Red Onion
  • 5 Cornichons
  • Fresh Basil and/or Mint

Pre-heat your oven to 175˚c and roast your halved Tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper.  Brush the Cherry Tomatoes quickly with a little Olive Oil; and sprinkle with some Salt before putting them in the oven

After 25 mins, check them regularly – you want them dried out and a little charred – but not burnt!  They could take up to 40 mins of cooking time, probably less

In the meantime, boil the kettle and cover the Peas in a bowl in water – leave them for 5 mins before draining

Spread out Lettuce Leaves on a plate – add chopped Red Onion and Cornichons/Gherkins.  Sprinkle the drained Peas and the cooked Tomatoes over the salad, and serve with a drizzle of Lemon Juice and Olive Oil, some Salt and some Pepper
