Tomatoes, Basil & Anchovies by Theo Michaels

Course: Starter - Dish: - Serves: 2

 A classic simple combination of sweet vine ripened tomatoes, the herby aromatics of fresh basil crowned with the salty umami of canned anchovies makes for the ultimate summertime appetiser – and couldn’t be easier to make. Serve at room temperature for best results.  

Method:

  1. Place the sliced tomatoes onto a plate, drizzle over the vinegar, then season generously with pepper and little salt.  
  2. Lay a single large basil leaf over each tomato, followed by one anchovy and finish with a drizzle of olive oil from the can of anchovies.  
  3. Serve and enjoy!
