The Tomato has long been revered in the world of Italian cooking whereas in Asian cuisines it takes a rather low profile against other herbs and ingredients.

Whilst this may be so, there is definitely room to get creative with these wonderful gems of flavour.

Here, for this recipe, I use Cherry Tomatoes for their ruby red appeal and roast them together with lots of Garlic to create a natural flavoured inspired sauce. The simplistic combination of tomatoes and garlic in the oven will create a wonderful aroma through the kitchen that is purely sublime in itself!!!

Together with Prawns and a bunch of fresh Asian herbs, this dish takes a bit from both worlds to create a simple and yet elegant meal.

Top the dish off with Garlic Chips to help to give that extra texture and bite.

Is one bowl enough? You decide…..
