There is nothing that says summer quite like a perfectly ripe tomato grown at home. We have grown many heirloom varieties in a stunning array of colours and tastes - sweet, striped, black, green, acidic.
A particular favourite is bull's heart. A beautiful variety, they are juicy and meaty and rich with flavour.
Ingredients
4 burrata
2 large bull's heart tomatoes
Juice of 1 lemon
10 sprigs of basil
Best olive oil
Salt and fresh pepper
Serves 4
Method
1. Chop the tomatoes into large chunks and put them into a bowl. Add in the lemon, a good drizzle of olive oil, and be generous and season it well with salt and pepper. Tomatoes love salt. Allow everything to macerate for 5 minutes.
2. Tear open the burrata and put them on a large serving plate. Gently season and then tumble over the tomatoes and torn basil and serve.
