Wash the tomatoes and pat dry, add to a baking tray, and drizzle generously with some oil, lemon juice (lemon rind for more flavour) salt and pepper, and some garlic flakes. Let it bake on low for 18-20 minutes until nice and jammy. While the tomatoes are baking, mix 125g of the vegan cream cheese with a heaped tbsp of the vegan pest of your choosing.

Fry the wontons in olive oil, until nice and crispy, add some salt, pepper, and the onion flakes. Once the tomatoes have been baked, scoop them into a bowl and add a tbsp of the pesto cream cheese to the tomatoes to make them extra creamy. To dish: Add 2-3 tbsp of the slow-roasted confit tomatoes to a serving bowl, and add the fried wonton ravioli, toasted pinenuts, and fresh basil.
