Method
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Place a pan over medium-high heat, add the whole cumin seeds, and toast for 1½ to 2 minutes or until golden and cracking.
- Place the cherry tomatoes, toasted cumin, olive oil, brown sugar, garlic, thyme, picked oregano leaves and thinly sliced lemon zest into a bowl. Season to taste and mix to combine.
- Transfer the mix to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly charred and soft, mixing halfway through.
- In the meantime, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon zest and seasoning to taste. Mix well and place in the fridge until ready to serve. (You can also add lemon juice to taste.)
- Remove the tomato mix from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Place the citrus yogurt mix into the centre of a plate or large bowl and evenly spread it out, creating a lip and well in the centre for the tomatoes to rest in. Spoon in the tomato mix evenly and add all the roasted ingredients.
- Garnish with the reserved whole oregano sprigs, mint leaves, extra virgin olive oil and seasoning to taste. Serve with toasted bread. Dig in.
