You enjoyed the FAVE COURGETTE RECIPES roundup so here’s a bumper FAVE TOMATO RECIPE round up as we are happily in the thick of tomato season and I don’t know many people who don’t love tomatoes. Actually I do know a few who prefer them cooked than raw, so here are some speedy fresh tomato recipes and some slow roasted ones too. Hope you enjoy. And if your tomatoes aren’t ripe, keep them on the windowsill or in as much sun as possible, you’ll really taste the difference. P.S. Anyone else growing their own?  As of today, my tomato plants are still hard and green, fingers crossed, they’ll be ripening to red any day soon.

Tomato, Pomegranate & Herb Salad
I like to make a big tub of salads like these and eat for lunch over a few days. Maybe adding some feta or any leftover chicken or fish on top too to make it stretch further.
