Chilled Lemon Yoghurt with Hot Charred Tomatoes

This is a recipe based on an @ottolenghi dish. The original is super tasty, but requires a bit more time and a bit more ingredients. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, it was Sunday after all, and I was already making a few other dishes. Glad to say this turned out super tasty as well!

Ingredients

  • Yoghurt
  • 250 ml full fat thick yoghurt (use plant based to keep it vegan)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Pepper & Salt
  • Tomatoes
  • 500 g cherry tomatoes (I prefer the slightly larger cocktail tomatoes)
  • Sprig rosemary
  • 1 tsp (chipotle) chili flakes
  • Pepper & Salt
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

2

Pour the yoghurt in a bowl and mix with lemon zest, pepper & salt (taste and adjust seasoning to your liking). Cover and return to the fridge to chill.

3

Halve the tomatoes and toss them in an oven dish with olive oil, pepper, salt, a pinch of (chipotle) chilli flakes and a sprig of rosemary.

4

Roast for 30 minutes until the tomatoes are nice and charred and the juices are flowing out.

5

Just before the tomatoes are ready, spread the yoghurt over a plate and then top off with the sizzling tomatoes. Don’t forget to include the juices, this is liquid gold!
