Prep time

Ingredients
- Garlic Clove: 1 garlic clove, left whole
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- Tomato: 8 medium-sized vine-ripened tomatoes, halved
- Mint: small bunch mint
- Balsamic Vinegar: 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Wholemeal Bread: 4 thick slices wholemeal bread
- Salad: green salad, to serve (optional)
- Pine Nut: 25g pine nut, toasted
- Ricotta: 100g ricotta
Directions
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put the tomato halves in a roasting tin in a single layer. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of the oil, season well and roast for 20 mins. Set aside.
- Toast the bread, then rub with the garlic - save the clove for the pesto. Brush a bit more oil over the bread and put on 4 plates.
- Using a food processor, whizz together the pine nuts, mint, garlic, remaining oil and vinegar. Thickly spread the ricotta on the bread, then top with the roasted tomatoes and some mint pesto. Serve with a salad, if you like.
