Tomatoes

Tomato recipes, from slow-roasted and blistered to fresh salads and soups. 4 recipes.

Flavour pairings

  • Basil, oregano and olive oil
  • Garlic and chilli
  • Mozzarella, feta and burrata
  • Eggs, peppers and cumin

Preparation

  • Salt fresh tomatoes for salads shortly before serving. Slow-roast halves at about 150°C / 300°F for concentrated flavour, or blister them whole in a hot pan.
  • To peel, score a cross in the base and leave in boiling water for about 30 seconds.

Storage

  • Keep ripe tomatoes at room temperature away from direct sun. Refrigerate only when very ripe, and bring back to room temperature before eating.

Substitutions

  • Canned whole or chopped tomatoes are a reliable stand-in for cooked dishes and sauces.
  • Cherry tomatoes can replace larger ones in most roasted and pan recipes.
