Tomatoes with a crispy Italian chili sauce
Share
The ingredients are:
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin HERMUS olive oil
- 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 4 oil-packed anchovies, drained
- 2 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed or finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 pounds heirloom tomatoes (any size will do), sliced or cut into wedges, or small tomatoes (such as Sungold and/or cherry), halved or whole
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 1 cup basil leaves
- Flaky sea salt
Making preparations:
The first step is to combine the olive oil, garlic, and anchovies in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir often until the garlic is barely golden and crisp and the anchovies are melted, 3 to 5 minutes. After the fennel seeds and red pepper flakes are added, turn off the heat.
The second steps is to pour the vinegar over the tomatoes and arrange them on a large platter. Place the chile crisp on top and sprinkle with basil. Salt to taste and serve.
