Ingredients

  • 12 Cherry Tomatoes
  • Hill farm Rapeseed Oil
  • Sugar/ Salt/Thyme
  • Pre-heat the oven to very, very low, 80C

Method

Cut the tomatoes in half, place into a bowl, drizzle over a little rapeseed oil and sprinkle over some sugar and salt, mix carefully and spread over a baking tray. Scatter over some thyme.
Place in the pre-heated oven and leave overnight, by the morning the tomatoes will have started to wrinkle and dry and look slightly dehydrated.
Place the tomatoes into a clean airtight jar, cover with rapeseed oil and seal well.
The tomatoes will keep refrigerated for up to three months

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
