29 Sep Fermented tomato salad

Not really a recipe but definitely a good idea

When I started blogging again, I was worried that I couldn’t commit to a recipe a week, because so much of what I eat is like this. A tomato salad here; some beans and rice there; a slice of good cheese; some sourdough bread, olive oil and za’tar; perhaps a lamb chop and some roast veg for dinner (though often, it’s just the veg). They’re not really recipes, just good ideas. However, I do think some good ideas are worth sharing, for inspiration, and this tomato salad is one of them. It’s just another thing to do with the fermented black tomatoes I made a few weeks ago. I have a lot of underripe tomatoes in my garden at the moment, and while some of them will ripen in the fruit bowl, nothing quite gives you the kick of a fermented vegetables. Especially when it has been fermented with plenty of garlic. We are this tomato salad with a delicious tortilla I made with leftover roast spuds.

Some other good ideas

I would like to, if I may, share a few more good ideas for these times we are in:-

1. Getting news from a few different sources, not just the obvious channels.

2. Standing up for what you believe in. Protest what’s wrong. I have been moved to tears by the strikes and protests in Italy.

3. Be a conscious consumer. Beware of supporting companies and regimes you do not agree with.
