Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 milliliters Port wine
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large baking dish, drizzle the olive oil evenly to coat the bottom.
Place the cherry tomatoes in the baking dish and toss them gently to coat them in the oil.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves, then scatter the slices over the tomatoes.
Add the fresh thyme sprigs to the dish, tucking them lightly among the tomatoes.
Season the tomatoes with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the port wine, honey, and balsamic vinegar until well combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the tomatoes.
Gently toss the tomatoes again to ensure they are well coated with the liquid and seasonings.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft, starting to blister, and the liquid has slightly reduced into a glossy sauce.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish, over crusty bread, or toss with cooked pasta for a simple yet indulgent meal. Enjoy!
