Roast Vegetable, Cheese and Tomato Rolls
The roast vegetable spread featured in this recipe is a must try! It is so incredibly versatile. Not only is it great used as a spread to accompany cheese and tomato, it is also fantastic when served on a big slice of sourdough topped with an egg for breakfast. We also enjoy it stirred through hot pasta and topped with cheese. Delicious!
