Warm Tomato Salad

Manon Lagrève
Cherry tomatoes cooked in olive oil and garlic become the dressing to slices of firmer beefsteak tomato. A ball of burrata makes an indulgent centrepiece. Serve with fresh bread to soak up all the goodness.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • ½ tsp herbes de Provence
  • ¼ cup pine nuts
  • 200 g cherry tomatoes sliced
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 large beefsteak tomato thinly sliced
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 handful croutons
  • 1 ball burrata
  • 1 handful basil leaves green or purple

Instructions
 

  • Heat half the oil in frying pan over medium and fry garic for a few minutes, then add herbes de Provence, pine nuts and cherry tomatoes. Cook for a few minutes, then squish tomatoes with a spoon so they release their juices. Add water.
  • Arrange beefsteak tomato on serving plate, season with salt and pepper and drizzle over the remaining oil and balsamic vinegar. Add croutons.
  • Top sliced tomato with warm tomatoes, then place burrata in the middle. Sprinkle with basil and drizzle over some more olive oil.
