There is nothing like fresh, tart plum tomatoes just as they are. Here’s a quick and healthy fix packed with juicy flavours of fresh herbs.

Dressing:

1 tbsp olive,

1 tsp sea salt flakes

5 sprigs of chopped basil

1 tsp lemon juice

Half 500gms of baby plum tomatoes and toss in dressing. Serve chilled.

Alternatively, for those who do not like the raw taste of tomatoes, try this other quick step that will only take you less than 5 minutes to prepare!

Sautéed mushrooms tossed in a crisp juicy salad

Sautee 5 large sliced mushrooms in a dash of sea salt, 1 tbsp Worchestire sauce and 2 tbsps of olive oil. Toss warm mushrooms in garden veges. YUM!

Melt ½ cup of good butter and stir in 4 sprigs of chopped fresh basil.

Mash 3 cooked medium sized potatoes.

Add in the basil infused butter and a good sprinkle of coarse sea salt.

Stir till well incorporated and smooth. Add a little milk if more liquid is required.

Tips:

• Press the potatoes through a sieve to get a smooth mash.
• Spoon mash into tiny ramekins and top with grated mozzarella. Melt and brown under the grill for a couple of minutes right before serving.
