Heaped on sourdough bread and topped with olive oil, this delicious tomato dip by Happy Food’s Niklas Ekstedt makes a healthy starter or side dish, or even a simple but tasty brunch.
Tomato dip
Equipment
- Sieve
- Grater
- Pan
Ingredients
- 500 g sweet and ripe tomatoes
- 3 shallots
- 1 clove of garlic
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 red chilli
- 6-8 basil leaves, wood sorrel or herb of your choice
- salt
Method
- Cut the tomatoes in half and roughly chop or grate the cut surface coarsely with a grater (hold the tomato by the skin).
- Add salt and suspend in a fine sieve for approximately one hour. If you grated the tomatoes you will obtain a thick consistency.
- Finely chop the shallots and garlic and quickly fry without allowing them to brown in a hot pan with one teaspoon of the olive oil.
- Mix with the tomato mixture, the remaining olive oil and red wine vinegar and season with salt.
- Halve the chilli and remove the seeds.
- Shred the basil leaves, sorrel or chosen herbs.
- Top the tomato dip with chilli and herbs.
- Serve with freshly toasted sourdough bread or roast chicken breast with grilled salad.
