Ingredients

  • 1 lb cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons shallots, chopped
  • vinaigrette
  • 12 cup of fresh mint, chopped
  • 12 cup cream
  • 4 slices goat cheese, thick slices, with rind

Method

  • Preheat the grill.
  • Put the tomatoes in a single layer on a cookie sheet or grill pan.
  • Place under the grill.
  • Keep an eye on them, and when they have split and gone a bit darkened or are starting to blister, take them out from under the grill.
  • Transfer tomatoes to a dish.
  • Sprinkle the chopped shallot on the tomatoes, and add a good amount of vinaigrette.
  • Stir and leave for an hour or so.
  • Stir the chopped mint leaves into the cream.
  • Season well with salt and fresh ground pepper.
  • Spoon this over the tomatoes and mix (gently).
  • Preheat the grill again.
  • Cut the goat cheese into 4 thick rounds, or 8 thin ones, and grill until the surface is a bit bubbly.
  • Meanwhile divide the salad onto 4 plates.
  • Watch the cheese carefully and when it is done, lift a round or two onto each salad.
  • Note: if you're watching fat - omit the cream and just add the mint to the vinaigrette.
