“I like the slightly sour edge the dressing brings to the sweetness of the tomatoes. This salad works beautifully with fish.” – Neil Perry
Ingredients
Tamarind dressing
Method
Main
1.For tamarind dressing, combine tamarind pulp and 1 tbsp hot water in a bowl. Stand for 10 minutes or until soft, then push through a fine sieve, discarding seeds and set aside. Combine sugar and 2 tsp water in a saucepan and cook for 3 minutes over medium heat or until caramelised, add tamarind water and soy sauce. Cool to room temperature, then gradually add olive oil, whisking continuously until emulsified. Makes about ½ cup.
2.Thickly slice tomatoes widthways and season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then arrange on a plate, drizzle with dressing and serve immediately drizzled with extra olive oil.
Note Tamarind pulp is available from Asian grocers and select supermarkets.
