Method

    Halve and season the tomatoes, roast at 220c/fan 200c/gas 7 for 20 minutes, then roughly chop. Throw away any shellfish that won’t close when tapped.

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan and cook the shallots and garlic until soft but not coloured. Add the tomatoes, saffron and thyme and stir.
