Well, look at these! Went a little overboard at the market on Saturday, but I loved those gorgeous tomatoes from the other day so much that I had to get some more. Then I saw they had more varieties so I ended up with the mar azul (asurcado antociano) again, cherokee, tomate rosa and also some cute little kumat & cherry-plum hybrids.

The only way I’ve ever enjoyed cherry tomatoes has been roasted so I decided to do that with these baby kumats and found a recipe online for “upside down” tomato puff pastry thingys (three mini pastry tins fit in the air fryer perfectly). I added roasted shallots and garlic, and some herb cream cheese, which made them tricky to flip over as you can see on that messy plate below, but they were delish. The others I just ate sliced with evoo and maldon salt. So much flavour there it would be a shame to miss out.

Not only is this beauty, well, beautiful, it is also the most luscious, sweet and delicous tomato I have ever eaten. Cut into chunks, with a drizzle of extra virgen olive oil and some maldon salt flakes and… heaven. Going to look for more at the market this weekend.

Live where the tomatoes taste good. 🍅
It is the only philosophy, the ultimate truth.
