Jammy confit tomatoes

I found this recipe from Emily C and love the simplicity of it.

If you love gooey, sweet tomatoes, then this is a fantastic little idea.

Jammy confit tomatoes with chickpeas recipe

Ingredients

500g tomatoes, roughly 1-2cm slices

1 x 700g jar of large chickpeas (or 2 x 400g tins), drained

2-3 anchovies, chopped roughly (optional if you don’t like anchovies)

1 tsp chilli flakes

3 garlic cloves, peeled

3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper for seasoning (careful on the salt if you’re using anchovies)

Directions

Set the oven to 130 C / 75 F.

Layer the tomatoes and drained chickpeas in a baking dish, pop in the garlic cloves and cover them in olive oil, chilli flakes, anchovies and a little salt and pepper.

Roast the mixture in the oven for about 1.5-2 hours or until the tomatoes have softened and are going gooey.

Serve over pasta or on a nice piece of crusty toasted sourdough.
