Ingredients

3 onions , thinly sliced

3 garlic cloves , thinly sliced

4 tbsp olive oil

1.2kg mixed tomato , from really big to cherry

8 thyme or oregano sprigs, or a mixture, stripped, plus a few more

1 tbsp golden caster sugar

50-85g fresh white breadcrumbs - if you've got a crust, use this so the crumbs are nice and golden

Method

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat half the oil in a pan and gently soften the onions and garlic for 15-20 mins until really soft and sticky but not browned. Put the onions, tomatoes (halve the large ones), herbs, sugar and breadcrumbs in a baking dish, season well and toss together.

Drizzle with the remaining oil, scatter with a few more herb sprigs and bake for 1 hr until going golden on top and the tomatoes are juicy.
