Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200ºC/gas 6.

Step 2

Add half the oil to a large, shallow ovenproof dish and pack in the tomatoes, peppers and onions into a single close layer.

Step 3

Sprinkle with ginger and tuck garlic cloves and sprigs of thyme among them.

Step 4

Drizzle over the remaining oil and season with pepper.

Step 5

Turn so that everything is evenly coated then slide into the oven, uncovered.

Step 6

Roast for about 40–45 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and patched with brown. Serve hot or warm.

Recipe tips

Once cooked, you can easily squeeze the garlic out of its skin by pressing between your thumb and forefinger.
Turn this into a pasta sauce by roughly chopping the finished dish and stirring through cooked pasta.
Freezing instructions: Freeze in a bag. Defrost in a microwave and use as a sauce for pasta.
