  These tomatoes are amazing and the perfect answer for a busy mum wanting to impress! Use with salad, pasta, rice - i used some last week over fine beans. The oil you're left with in the jar is scrummilly tomatoey and smells divine. Use it in cous cous or on it's own over a bag of washed salad. I'm just making my second batch and some extra to give away! Oh, and they keep for ages as well - so they're always there on the shelf when you need something to jazz up cheese and biscuits!
