Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put the tomatoes onto a large, deep roasting tray, with the garlic cloves, olive oil, black pepper and plenty of salt. Put into the oven for 1 hour-1 hour 15 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and sticky. Tip the tomatoes into a bowl and squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins into the bowl.
