F 350g cherry tomatoes F 3 tbsp olive oil F ¾ tsp cumin seeds F ½ tsp light brown sugar F 3 garlic cloves, sliced F 3 thyme sprigs F 5g fresh oregano F 1 lemon: shave the skin of ½ to get 3 strips and finely grate the other ½ to get 1 tsp zest F 350g extra-thick Greekstyle yoghurt F 1 tsp Urfa chilli flakes (or ½ tsp regular chilli flakes) F sea salt and pepper

1 Heat the oven to 200°C.

Roast 20 mins until the tomatoes begin to blister and the liquid is bubbling. Turn oven to the grill setting and grill for 6-8 mins, until the tomatoes start to blacken.
