Advice

Before baking, you can sprinkle the tomatoes with minced garlic and/or chopped herbs (thyme, basil, rosemary, oregano). For this dish, the most suitable are elongated or egg-shaped, meaty tomato varieties, such as Italian varieties San Marzano, Piccadilly, Roma, Perini, and Martino. Cherry tomatoes are also suitable.
