Ingredients:
  • 12 ripe egg tomatoes, halved lengthways
  • 72.80 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 2.40 gm salt
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 24 fresh oregano leaves
  • 100g baby spinach leaves, ends trimmed, washed, dried
  • 50g shaved Parmesan
  • 20.00 ml balsamic vinegar
  • 40.00 gm purchased basil pesto
  • Salt & ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 150°C and prepare a large baking tray by lining it with foil or non-stick baking paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, olive oil, and salt, tossing well to coat. Arrange tomatoes cut-side up in a single layer on a lined tray, then evenly sprinkle with garlic and oregano.
  • Place the tomatoes in a preheated oven and roast for 2 hours, or until they are slightly shrivelled around the edges. Then, take them out of the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.
  • Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and pesto in a small screw-top jar. Shake vigorously to mix, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a large salad bowl, combine spinach leaves, roasted tomatoes, and Parmesan. Drizzle dressing over the salad and gently toss to mix. Serve promptly.
