We eat this a LOT! I can't even remember where I got the recipe from, but it is a lovely mixture of Italian flavours and even better with a large glass of wine! I urge you to try this - delicious! I haven't really given specific amounts as you can use as much of each ingredient as you please but as a guide, for two people I would use one avocado and one packet of mozzarella. Try to buy the best you can afford - it makes a difference!
Heat oven to 200ºC. Put 2 bunches of cherry vine tomatoes and either 2 cloves of chopped garlic in a roasting tin. Drizzle over 2 tbsps of olive oil and cook for about 15 mins (when the skins have split).
Meanwhile, decorate plates with a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze* and then arrange slices of avocado and mozzarella. Toast some pine nuts and scatter them over the plates too. Divide the roasted tomatoes between the plates and drip the left over garlicky oil over the mozzarella. Eat and enjoy - mop up any juices with some crusty ciabatta!
*I recommend Waitrose balsamic glaze - it is thick like a syrup and you can zig zag across the plate like a pro!
Variations:
Feel free to use large tomatoes cut in half and small mozzarella balls. For the more rustic approach I sometimes tear up the mozzarella and scatter everything haphazardly over the plate. Whichever way the wind takes you...there are no rules!
