This is a great summer lunch recipe! Seasonal cherry tomatoes are slowly roasted with aromatic herbs and garlic to intensify their flavour. Then tangy goats cheese is brightened up with fragrant lemon and black pepper to pair with the sweet tomatoes on some toasted sourdough bread. Serve the tomatoes just warm for the best flavour.

Ingredients

500g cherry tomatoes
1 bulb of garlic (cut in half)
1 sprig of thyme
1 sprig of rosemary
Olive oil
Salt
200g soft goats cheese
Lemon zest
Black pepper
4 slices of sourdough bread

Method

Step 1.

Pre heat your oven to 150c. Place your cherry tomatoes whole in a roasting dish, along with the garlic, thyme and rosemary. Add a good glug of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Place in the oven to roast slowly for 90 mins. The tomatoes should eventually blister and release delicious juices!

Step 2.

In a small bowl combine the soft goats cheese with the zest of a lemon and a good crack of black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3.

Take your tomatoes out of the oven and allow to cool until just warm. Toast your bread and now assemble. Spread over the goats cheese mixture on the toast then top with the slow roasted tomatoes. Make sure you spoon over the liquid and add a few bits of roasted garlic.
