2. Prepare Tomatoes: Wash and cut the tomatoes in half. Place them, cut side up, in a roasting dish. This allows them to roast evenly and develop a rich flavor.

3. Roast Tomatoes: Slide the roasting dish into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the tomatoes become soft and begin to collapse. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

4. Prepare Dressing: While the tomatoes are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a mortar and pestle or a food processor, crush the garlic cloves, anchovy fillets, basil leaves, salt, pepper, and olive oil. This creates a flavorful dressing that will complement the roasted tomatoes perfectly.

5. Combine and Serve: Once the tomatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the warm tomatoes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Serve the salad while it’s still warm, accompanied by some crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.

Tips:

• For a vegan version, simply omit the anchovies or replace them with a vegan alternative for a similar umami flavor.
• Experiment with different varieties of tomatoes for a unique flavor profile. Cherry tomatoes or heirloom tomatoes can add visual appeal and complexity to the dish.
• Fresh basil is key to the vibrant flavor of this salad. If you don’t have fresh basil on hand, consider using other fresh herbs like parsley or oregano.
