Ingredients

900g cherry tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tsp dried chilli flakes
300-400ml Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Method

Preheat the oven to 130°C/270°F/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 minutes. 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 Filippo Berio Extra Virgin 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.
