How to:

Smoke tomatoes

Remove the core from about 40 Rosa tomatoes and score a cross into the top of each.

Scatter some genuine French-oak wine barrel shavings into a pan (just enough to cover the base) and place over a high heat.

Place the tomatoes in a Chinese steamer basket and set over the pan.

When the shavings start to smoke, cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium.

Smoke for 15 minutes, or until the tomato skins start to come away from the flesh.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then peel.

Great in homemade tomato sauce and dishes.

Cooking instructions: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Arrange the tomato halves on a baking tray, sprinkle with sea salt and roast for 20 minutes, drizzling with 1 T olive oil 5 minutes before the end of the roasting time. Place a large saucepan over a medium to low heat, add the remaining olive oil, shallot, garlic and chilli and gently fry until fragrant. Add the baby marrow and cook until browned slightly. Add the tomato chunks and chicken stock and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and blend to a rough consistency using a hand-held blender. Serve in deep bowls topped with the roast tomato, with thick slices of seed loaf spread with whole-grain mustardand- celeriac rémoulade on the side.

TASTE’s take: If you are unable to find fresh celeriac, the bottled variety, drained, works just as well.
