Stage 11 - ⌛ 2 min.

Put tomato halves in the pan cut side down, cover and cook for 2 minutes.

Stage 12 - ⌛ 2 min.

Turn tomatoes over, and cook covered for 2 more minutes.

Stage 13 - ⌛ 2 min.

Remove tomatoes onto a plate, and you've got a pan full of flavours and herbs.

Stage 14 - ⌛ 1 hour

Put in all the vegetables except tomatoes, turn heat down to lowest, cover and leave to cook for at least one hour.

Stage 15 - ⌛ 30 min.

After this time, add tomatoes without skins, cover and leave to cook 30 minutes longer.

Stage 16 - ⌛ 5 min.

Check seasoning, put the pan in the centre of the table, and serve your guests directly onto their plates.

Remarks

For herbs, use what you have to hand and that you like, it's a quite versatile recipe. Similarly, you can add 1 or 2 garlic cloves en chemise.

And to drink?

A chilled rosé (if possible from Provence) otherwise a rather strong red wine, like a Mediterranean one.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.
