1. Heat the oven to 150°C/gas 2.
2. Put the cherry tomatoes and halved garlic bulbs in a roasting pan with a little olive oil and seasoning, toss well to coat in oil then roast in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
3. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a saucepan, add the mushrooms and red onion, and cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the red wine, rosemary, bay leaf and vegetable stock and gently simmer for 10 minutes.
