I make hummus often for appetizers when I have guests as it is an easy dish to make. But I do get bored of the same hummus. I am always looking at ways to make it more interesting. I found a recipe in Bon Appetit which inspired me to make this. Slow roasting the tomatoes brings out the sweetness in the tomatoes.
You can make the tomatoes a few days ahead and heat it before serving. If you make an extra batch of tomatoes, toss it with some pasta, basil, olive oil salt, and pepper and you have dinner ready.
