Heavenly Slow Roasted Tomato Avocado Toast
Ingredients
- 4 plum or 12 cherry tomatoes
- olive oil
- 1 bunch of fresh basil
- 1 lemon
- 3 ripe avocados
- 4 slices of sourdough bread
- 4 handfuls of rocket
Preparation
You can do this part the night before. Preheat the oven to 150ºC/gas 1. Halve and place the tomatoes cut-side up on a baking tray, season generously and drizzle with oil
Roast slowly for 11/2–2 hours, or until they are sticky and dried out. You can make batches of these and keep them in the fridge as they’re good with pasta, salads, – almost everything
When you’re ready for breakfast, pick the basil leaves, then pound in a pestle and mortar with a pinch of sea salt until you have a paste. Pour in a good splash of oil and squeeze in the juice of 1/2 lemon
Halve your avocados and scoop out the flesh. Place in a bowl, squeeze in the other lemon half and season with salt and pepper. Gently mash with a fork to bring it all together
Toast the bread, then divide between 4 plates and generously spread on the avocado and top with the tomatoes
Top each serve with a handful of rocket and a drizzle of basil oil. •
