1

Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.

2

Place the tomato skins and leftover tomatoes on a roasting tray, drizzle with the olive oil and roast until softened and caramelised – approx. 20 minutes.

3

Heat the oil to 180°C in a pot and deep-fry pieces of the leftover bread until golden brown and crunchy.

4

Place the fried bread in a blender and blitz to form breadcrumbs.

5

Mix the breadcrumbs and tomatoes together.

6

Juice the lemon. To make the ricotta, place the leftover milk in a saucepan and add 2 tbsp of lemon juice (or vinegar) and salt. Heat gently, while stirring, until the mixture starts to split. Strain the mixture through a sieve.

7

Peel and cube the avocado.

8

Place the tomato breadcrumbs on a plate, top with the ricotta and avocado. Garnish with the microgreens, if desired, and serve.
