Let's Cook

Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
-
Step 2.
Remove the stalk from each of the 4 beefsteak tomatoes to create a small cavity, then cut 2 slashes on each side of each tomato.
-
Step 3.
Push most of the basil leaves (reserving a few for garnish) and all of the thyme sprigs into the cavities and slashes of the tomatoes.
-
Step 4.
Place the stuffed tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle generously with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Step 5.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the tomatoes are cooked through and lightly caramelized on the edges.
-
Step 6.
While the tomatoes are baking, chop the chives and set aside.
-
Step 7.
To serve, carefully transfer the tomatoes to a serving bowl, drizzle with the cooking juices from the pan and a little fresh olive oil, then garnish with the chopped chives and reserved basil leaves.
