pinch sugar
4 slices sourdough bread

2 avocados, peeled and diced
Dressing

METHOD
Preheat the oven to 150°C.
Arrange the tomatoes on an oven tray, cut side up. Sprinkle with thyme leaves and drizzle with a little olive oil. Season and sprinkle with a pinch of sugar. Roast for 1 hour.
Brush the sourdough with a little olive oil and grill or toast until golden. Rub one side of the hot toast with the clove of garlic.

Allow to bubble up then simmer for 1 minute. Add the parsley, season with freshly ground pepper and swirl to combine.
