Parmesan tomatoes

A good savoury little number, fantastic with roasts and grills, but equally worth making as a side dish for cool, milky mozzarella. Serves 4 as a side dish.

450g tomatoes
3 tbsp olive oil
small bunch of basil
40g grated Parmesan

Set the oven at 200C.
Cut the tomatoes in half and put them in a bowl.
Pour over the oil, and add a good grinding of black pepper and a little salt.
Tear the basil leaves and add them with the grated Parmesan.
Tip the tomatoes into a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and the Parmesan is slightly crisp.
