This really should fall into the un-recipe category and into the should make every week category too. This flavourful meal came about when I found some forgotten tomatoes in the crisper looking quite sad and slightly wrinkled. While waiting for the tomatoes to roast , you can as I did, enjoy a bubble bath with a glass of wine. 😉 With next weeks version, I shall lose the chicken and replace it with anchovies and try roma tomatoes for a more robust and slightly sweeter flavour.
