Delicious hot or cold and perfect when you are having guests in the summer, since they can be made in advance. My guests and husband loved these, and they are so easy to make (though they also disappear fast). I also added a dash of raspberry balsamic vinegar to them, which made the flavour, which is already quite intense, even more tangy.

I absolutely despise tomatoes! And no...this recipe did not change me. BUT..having said that my Husband does indeed love them and we have a huge garden full of them. So, what an easy dish to put together and he just loved it! I didn't have any Roma tomatoes ripened, so I used smaller standard tomatoes and quartered them. They still stayed cut side up in the dish and was easier for me because it didn't take an hour in the oven to get tender. I asked him to rate it and he said definitely 5 stars! I made this for him last night and it was just a real easy and pleasant recipe. Thank you for a great way to use up the tomatoes...ick!
