Every year my little cherry tomatoes are the first to show their vibrant colours in my garden. They don’t tend to make it into my kitchen very often because the kids and I eat them right off the vine. Fresh tomatoes from the garden are delicious and this recipe compliments their full flavour nicely.
This recipe is a favourite for kids to make due to its easy assembly.
Serve this as an appetizer with fresh pasta and a glass of Rose’ on a hot summers day.
