Cooked With
Olive Oil
Filippo Berio’s classic, beautifully balanced Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Made
from the first cold pressing of the olives, it’s perfect for sauces,
marinades, drizzling and dipping.
Method
Preheat the oven to 130C/Fan 110C/Gas Mark 1/2. Cut the tomatoes in half horizontally and place them cut side up on one or two baking trays, making sure they are all in a single layer. Season well with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for about 4 hours or until the tomatoes are shrivelled looking. Add the garlic cloves and cook for a further 15 mins. Leave until cold.
Place the bay leaves, coriander seeds, chilli and garlic cloves in the base of a large seal-able jar that has been sterilised. Pack the tomatoes in on top of the spices, then pour in enough olive oil to cover.
Store in a cool place for at least 48 hours before eating. Once opened, store in the fridge and consume within 3 weeks of opening.
