Salads

Vietnamese-Style Tomato Salad with Herbs & Fried Shallots

Instead of opting for the traditional mozzarella-and-basil combination, this salad draws inspiration from Vietnam, with a punchy vinaigrette, whole leaves of mint and cilantro, and a golden crown of irresistible crispy fried shallots.

Main Dishes

Fresh Tomato Risotto

For this fresh tomato risotto, a portion of the stock is replaced by the juice and pulp of ripe tomatoes. It can stand alone as a main course, but it is also a beautiful side dish for grilled fish or sausages.

Soups, Stews & Chowders

Pappa al Pomodoro

Somewhere between a soup and a stew, pappa al pomodoro is quintessential Italian peasant food. We especially love making this hearty bread and tomato soup in late summer when fresh tomatoes are in season.
