• 6 plum tomatoes halved
• 1 tbsp of olive oil

• 1 finely chopped large onion
• Sultanas

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C.
2. Place all ingredients in a large casserole dish and mix thoroughly.
3. Add water to halfway in the dish (do not worry if it doesn’t cover all the ingredients).
4. Place a lid on the pot and put into the oven for 3 hours.
5. Stir at regular intervals and make sure the dish retains liquid. If required you can add more water to return to the previous level and turn the oven down slightly at the same time. Make sure to keep checking throughout the remainder of the 3 hours.
