Tahini Tomatoes

Potted Prawns
Potted Prawns

These pretty tomatoes are very simple and make the perfect light and healthy lunch with, for example, chicken breast and avocado, maybe with a little watercress salad on the side.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsps. tahini paste


  • 1 tbsp. plain Greek yoghurt


  • 2 cloves garlic


  • 1 tsp. flaky sea salt


  • Pinch of ground cumin


  • Sliced tomatoes and cherry tomatoes


  • Toasted pine kernels (optional)

Method

  • Put the tahini, yoghurt, sea salt and pinch of cumin in a bowl


  • Grate in the garlic


  • Blitz together with a hand held stick blender


  • Add a tablespoon or two of cold water if necessary to bring the sauce to the consistency of double cream


  • Drizzle over the tomatoes

Helpful Hints

I like to sprinkle something black over this, black sesame seeds look lovely, as do Urfa chilli flakes or Nigella seeds;
toasted pine kernels are delicious too, and it’s pretty and delicious enough without anything.
