Balsamic Cherry Tomatoes


I'm in the throws of preparing some pizza (I had to give in and be a real chef after the shop sold out of Pizza bases) so Whilst I wait for the dough to rise, here's a (albeit brief) recipe for the balsamic cherry tomotoes that will become one of my toppings:

1.  Oven on at 160oC (Fan)
2. Slice your cherry tomoatoes in half
3. Throws tomatoes in a roasting dish with some balsamic vinegar and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Remove from oven 20-30 mins later.

And you have balsamic cherry tomatoes, suitable for salads, to accompany dips, for pizza toppings etc..

This is a good idea Katie - one of those useful things to have a batch of in the fridge ready to chuck into all manner of dishes.

Hope your pizza turned out well!

Hi Sophie - I've still got a mango sat on my kitchen top waiting for me to make your muffins.. (ending up doing my work after all).
The pizza went terribly, I rolled it out on foil because i didn't have a baking tray big enough for it, then carefully carried the pizza-laden foil sheet to the oven, only to discover it wouldn't actually fit in the oven. So, had to quickly reassess and make a calzone. I decided to add some wholemeal flour to my pizza dough, but ignored the words 'very strong bread flour' on teh packets, so I ended up with a very bready calzone :( Thus, the pizza never made it onto my blog!
