Roasted tomato and shallot salad

20140518-163954-59994140.jpgThis is just the thing when your tomatoes are not quite ripe, or even a little past their best but you really fancy a delicious tomato salad. By roasting together the tomatoes and shallots you achieve a wonderfully sweet, sticky richness. So simple, but then all the finest things are. Best served at room temperature.
