1 red chilli, sliced

Sprigs of rosemary

Large pinch of sea salt

method

  1. Preheat your oven to 120˚C and place all your tomatoes into a shallow ovenproof dish. Add in the peeled garlic cloves, sliced red chilli and sprigs of rosemary plus a good pinch of sea salt.
  2. Cover completely with Borderfields cold pressed rapeseed oil and cook and cover with a sheet of baking parchment.
  3. Cook for 2 hours until the tomatoes soften and the flavours infuse.
  4. Toast your sliced ciabatta in the oven drizzled with basil oil until golden and crunchy and top with whipped feta or ricotta. I like to add some basil, lemon zest and cracked black pepper to the whipped cheese. Top with confit tomatoes and serve as a canape or starter.
