Ferrigno Roasted Tomatoes (Pomodori Di Ferrigno)

Tomatoes thrive in the Italian climate; the fertile soil, the water’s edge and the light all being very important factors in the success of this vital crop. This method of cooking the tomatoes is a frugal but smart way of creating a dish of utter deliciousness. Selecting the right tomatoes is important; smell the stalk end for a good peppery flavour. Buy your tomatoes from a sunny climate and choose those with a good, deep, red colour.
