This is a great Make-Ahead dish, ideal for when the hords are coming for dinner. AND it's super easy to prepare. Bonus. I have listed the recipe as I found it but at ours we prefer extra garlic and TONS of fresh basil. whooo devine, Guests went back for seconds and thirds. one day I will grab a photo of the inside, so far my guests have been too quick LOL. Ingredients:

pepper |
300 ml cream (10 oz) |

1. Skin the tomatoes by putting them into a bowl, adding boiling water and leaving them for 20 seconds, drain and plunge them into cold water, the skins should come off easily.
