Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Put all the tomatoes, garlic, thyme, chilli, sugar, vinegar and olive oil in a baking dish just big enough to neatly fit it all. It doesn’t matter if the tops of the tomatoes are poking out. Season generously, then roast in the oven for 45 mins or up to 1 hr until the tomatoes are softened but are still holding their shape and the tops are a little browned. Set aside to cool. Will keep chilled for up to four days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
To make the tzatziki, tip the cucumber into a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much water as possible. Transfer to a bowl and add the yogurt, garlic, vinegar, mint and some seasoning to taste. Will keep chilled for up to two days.
Serve the tzatziki spread out on a platter and spoon over the confit tomatoes and a drizzle of their oil with flatbreads on the side.
