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.
