For a delicious and quick meal which can be for a snack, lunch, picnic or your evening meal, using some slow-roasted tomatoes– I took mine out of the freezer. I froze a boxful in the summer when I had a glut of these rich red beauties.
They only take about 1hour to defrost at room temperature and I drain them off. As they have been previously cooked they will brown quicker, so it’s important to keep an eye on them when using them in any cooked dish.
This could be called a Christmas leftover tart as I have also taken some slices of gammon ham which I cooked for Boxing Day and had some slices over which I wrapped well and froze.
