Baked Vine Tomatoes
A wonderful side dish with magnificent colours that will help provide extra zest towards your presentation skills. I find this side is an excellent addition to many fish dishes. However beware that tomatoes do contain high acidity so be careful if you decide to add this to a rather bland or mellow main dish, the tomatoes could potentially be over powering.

Ingredients
Cherry tomatoes on the vine
Olive oil
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
Fresh herbs (optional)

Mise-en-Place:
Preheat oven to gas mark 4/ 180° C/ 350° F
(Alternatively turn salamander grill to high)

Method:
Place tomatoes in a roasting tray
Sprinkle over olive oil, salt and pepper
Add fresh herbs (if using)
Roast for 10 minutes (Or cook under grill 3-4 minutes)
When wrinkled, soft to the touch and slightly coloured they tomatoes are done.
Serve as required


Add oil, salt, pepper and if using herbs (in this photo I used red onions)
Roast, when cooked tomatoes should be soft, wrinkled and slightly coloured
I have used baked vine tomatoes to compliment this chicken wrapped in bacon.
