  • 500g Heritage tomatoes
  • 1 Bottle Kentish Oils lemon rapeseed
  • 1/2  Bulb of garlic (crushed)

Method

  1. Put the tomatoes, garlic, oil, shallot and bouquet garni into a large heavy based saucepan. Gently simmer for 15-30 minutes on a low heat to allow the flavours infuse. This can be done up to three days in advance and stored in the fridge.
  2. When ready to use the dressing simply bring to the boil, remove the garlic, shallot and bouquet garni   then stir in butter to emulsify.
  3. Add herbs and capers and season with salt and pepper to taste, and add to your cooked fish.
