200g (7oz) on-the-vine cherry tomatoes
1 small fennel bulb
juice ½ lemon

Heat the oven to Gas Mark 6, 200°C, fan 180°C and bake the tomatoes in four bunches for 8-10 minutes on a nonstick tray. Slice the fennel very thinly - with a mandolin if possible - and season. Reserve some of the delicate leaves as a garnish. Add lemon juice and olive oil, toss and leave to steep for 30 minutes.
