Tomato tarte tatin makes a gorgeous vegetarian centrepiece at lunch or dinner time. Taking just 35 minutes to get ready before cooking it really doesn't take too much effort at all but looks so complicated! Easy to prepare, this tasty treat will make an impressive dinner party meal, served with a crisp green salad or seasonal veg. We've used thyme in our recipe as it really compliments the sweetness of the tomatoes, but if you don't have any you could try other aromatics instead. Rosemary or sage would both work well as a substitute. And if you have leftovers it's tasty eaten cold, too. Simply pack your tomato tarte tatin into a Tuppawear box and enjoy it the next day for lunch or a light supper.
