summer food - la tomate



Summer food... we want fresh, we want healthy, we want quick and abundant and high in colour.  La belle tomate makes an appearance nearly every day on our table during the summer.   Oven roasted, sun dried, puréed in a gazpacho or quite simply sliced and seasoned with olive oil  as a salad.


















Doesn't take much ..... some good tomatoes, olive oil, olives, basil leaves, 
some rock salt, maybe a few anchovies ......






part of the enjoyment is the beauty of the fruit itself ...







and what to serve alongside for a quick and easy lunch on a hot day ....


this combination  has been happening a lot here this summer, tomato salad and goats cheese
 baked in the oven on a slice of good bread , a little olive oil and a few sprigs of thyme ...







it really only takes a few minutes ... 
 and it looks so pretty it can go straight from the oven to the table





















all these great pictures were taken by my daughter Ella, you can see more of her photos  here .... please excuse her for not updating too recently, she is busy living her life!!   :)

Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for the last of my august giveaways - this one you do not want to miss!!
