This simple roasting method brings deep, bright flavor to winter tomatoes.

Ingredients

12 medium plum tomatoes (about 2 1/4 pounds)
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
8 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 4-ounce piece Stilton cheese, crumbled
1 bunch watercress, thick stems trimmed

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut tomatoes lengthwise in half; remove seeds and membranes. Place tomatoes, cut side down, on platter; let drain 15 minutes. Mix pepper, salt, and rosemary in large bowl. Add 6 tablespoons olive oil and garlic and whisk to blend. Add tomato halves and toss to coat. Let marinate 15 minutes.

    Step 2

Drizzle any oil mixture remaining in bowl over tomatoes. Roast until tomatoes are slightly softened and browned on bottoms and around edges, about 65 minutes. Arrange tomatoes on platter; sprinkle with crumbled cheese. DO AHEAD Can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover tomatoes loosely and let stand at room temperature.

    Step 3

    Tuck watercress in between tomatoes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
