This recipe places a very seasonal ingredient centre stage, and lets the flavours shine – it’s perfect on a warm summer’s day with a glass of chilled rosé – a wonderful celebration of summer’s tomatoes.
Serves 4 - 6
For the tapenade
Put all the ingredients for the tapenade into a food processor or blender and blitz until it reaches a coarse paste. Season to taste with pepper.
Slice the tomatoes, varying the way they are cut – cut some in slices and some in wedges.
Put the tomatoes on a serving dish and drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle over the shallot, season with salt and gently fold together. Drizzle over the tapenade and serve.
Autumn in the Cotswolds unfolds gently. Warmth gives way to stillness, shadows lengthen and the landscape softens. Crisp air carries the faint scent of wood smoke and damp earth, villages are framed by copper beech trees, and log fires crackle…...
Rooted in nature, each wellness experience is designed to restore and realign, gently encouraging guests to slow down and reconnect.
