Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lbs red ripe tomatoes
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leave
1 1/2 teaspoons flaked sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 lb good quality Greek feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F
  • Oil a shallow roasting tin with 2 tbsp of the oil.
  • Cut the tomatoes in half lengthways and lay them cut-side up in the tin.
  • Sprinkle over the thyme and some salt and pepper and roast for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 300F and roast for a further 1½ hours until they have shrivelled to about half their original size and concentrated in flavour. Leave to cool.
  • Arrange the tomatoes and the feta among four plates and drizzle over the remaining olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with a bit more sea salt and some black pepper to serve.
