'Heirloom' tomato varieties (grown from seed passed down for hundreds of years) come in many colours, shapes and sizes, and have great flavour compared to many commerical varieties. Look out for tomatoes such as ox-heart, Black Russian, and Chef's Choice at growers' markets and some greengrocers, or pay a visit to the nursery and grow them yourself over summer.
Ingredients (serves 6)
- 1kg mixed heirloom tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbs red wine vinegar
- Pinch of caster sugar
- Small basil leaves, to garnish
Method
- Lightly whish the olive oil, vinegar and sugar. Season well with salt and pepper. Lay tomatoes on a platter, drizzle the dressing over and scatter with basil.
