Instructions
- Cut any larger new potatoes in half. Place them in a large oven
tray.
- Drizzle with the olive oil and season.
- Roast for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut each red onion into 8 thin wedges, and squash
the rosemary and garlic cloves with the blunt side of a knife (or
a rolling pin) to help release the flavours. After 20 minutes, add
the red onion, rosemary and garlic to the tin with the potatoes,
and toss well to mix. Cook for a further 20 minutes or until the
potatoes are tender and beginning to turn golden. Then add the
tomatoes and return to the oven for 15-20 minutes until they start
to soften. Just before serving, add the basil.
