By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 ripe tomatoes
  • 1 red pepper
  • 2 T roughly chopped mint
  • 2 T roughly chopped parsley
  • 1 chopped red chilli
  • 2 T tomato paste
  • 2 T extra virgin oliv eoil
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • 2 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • fresh mint, to garnish

Method

Chop 6 ripe tomatoes and 1 red pepper and place in a bowl. Add 2 T roughly chopped mint, 2 T roughly chopped parsley, 1 chopped red chilli, 2 T tomato paste, 2 T extra virgin olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon.

Mix, then add 2 sliced spring onions, 1 chopped red onion and 2 finely chopped garlic cloves and season to taste. Garnish with mint leaves and serve with flatbreads.

TASTE's take

This is a Turkish salad that's great as a side but can also be used to stuff into pitas or served as a relish with burgers. The riper the tomatoes are, the better and if you like it less fiery, use less chillies. The raw tomato paste really lifts the flavours in this gorgeous dish.
