Simple Spicy Tomato Dip

My mom makes this and I love it with some good bread.

This is my version made with cherry tomatoes and chilli. The recipe is very adaptable, so feel free to alter to suit your tastes.

Handful ripe cherry tomatoes

2 -3 cloves garlic

1 small chilli

salt and pepper

Sprinkle of oregano

 

Score the tomato skins and place in a bowl.

Pour over boiling water and leave for 5 minutes. Drain off the water and peel off the tomato skins.

Mash the tomatoes with your hands. Add the finely chopped garlic and chilli, salt and pepper and mix in.

Leave to cool until ready to serve. Simple!

This will keep in the fridge for a few days and if left uncovered, will keep the vampires out of your kitchen for some time as its pretty pungent!

I live in the West Midlands with my partner, our two cats, Marley and Murphy, and sometimes a poodle named Alfie.

I’m expecting our first baby in February, which is exciting and ever so slightly scary! I’ve had to come off my arthritis medications but so far *touch wood* pregnancy seems to have dampened the arthritis down. Now I’m  over the tiredness and sickness of early pregnancy I’m enjoying being back in the garden and getting my hands dirty again.

As well as gardening, I like to cook, write, read, exercise, draw and play music. I also spend far too much time on the internet, watching tv and cat teasing.
