**Preheat an oven to 220’c.Cut the tomatoes into quarters and then in half across the wedge. Season with sea salt, pepper, sugar, and some torn basil. Cut 6 slices of baguette at an angle and toss in olive oil to coat, put into a hot oven to toast for about 5 min, or until pale golden. Take out of the oven and spread thinly with tapenade.
