Pick small sweet, ripe plum tomatoes. Cut them in half lengthways and place cut side up on a baking tray. Sprinkle with slivers of garlic, torn up basil leaves and drizzle with a good olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and bake at gas mark 4 (180C/350F) for half an hour. Turn the gas down to mark 2 for a further 45 minutes. Allow to cool. Delicious with bread and cheese and excellent picnic fare!
