Isle of Wight Tomatoes x All Thing’s Butter Tomato Butter

• 250g Isle of Wight Cherry Tomatoes, halved
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp tomato paste
• ½ tsp salt
• Pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 125g @allthingsbutter__ unsalted butter, softened
• Fresh basil or thyme leaves, to serve

Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan 170°C).

Place the tomatoes and garlic in a small roasting tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and chilli flakes, and toss to coat.

Roast for 25 - 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft, slightly caramelised, and jammy.

Tip the roasted mixture into a blender with the tomato paste. Blend until smooth, then leave to cool for a few minutes.

Add the softened butter and blend or whisk until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and orange-red in colour.

Spoon into a clean ramekin or jar, swirl the top, and chill for 30 minutes to set.

Spread over toasted bread and enjoy! Pairs perfectly with roasted tomato soup on a cold day!
