TOMATO AND MANGO SALAD WITH CHILES AND TOMATO ESSENCE

Steps:

• Peel mango and cut flesh from pit; discard pit. Cut flesh lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices. Toss with cucumber, tomatoes, chile, chopped basil, and oil. Season with salt and divide salad among 4 bowls. Divide tomato essence among bowls, garnish with remaining basil, and drizzle with more oil.

TOMATO ESSENCE

Steps:

• Puree tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Line a colander with 4 layers of dampened cheesecloth and set over a deep pot. Pour tomato puree into colander, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until 1 to 2 cups tomato water have dripped into pot, about 1 day. Season with salt, if desired.

ESSENCE OF TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix all the ingredients together with 1 tbsp sea salt, cover with cling film and marinate for 6 hrs. Then, in a food processor, pulse the tomato mix in batches until roughly chopped - don't over-chop them to a mush.
• Place three layers of muslin cloth, or a new kitchen cloth, over a large bowl and pour the mix into the cloth. Tie up with string and hang in a cold place for at least 15 mins over the bowl to collect the tomato essence. Set aside the pulp. Taste and correct the seasoning, if necessary, then cool in the fridge.
• To serve, spoon a quarter of the diced tomato into the centre of four bowls. Carefully pour the chilled tomato essence around the tomato towers and garnish with the basil and a small drizzling of olive oil.
