2. 6 tomatoes, thickly sliced and seeds removed
3. 4 thick slices soda bread
4. Balsamic vinegar, for drizzling
5. Salt and ground black pepper
6. Shavings of Parmesan cheese to serve

Method: 

1. Brush a griddle pan with olive oil and heat. Add the tomato slices and cook for 4-6 minutes, turning once, until softened and slightly blackened. Alternatively, heat a grill (broiler) to high and line the rack with foil. Grill (broil) the tomato slices for 4-6 minutes, turning once, until softened.
