Ingredients

8 total
  • 280g pack M&S Collection Isle of Wight Summer Selection Tomatoes
  • 250g ciabatta loaf, sliced into 12 even slices
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 100g pack M&S Collection Suino Nero Matchsticks
  • ¼ red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 tbsp M&S Top That Seasoning
  • 1 handful basil, leaves picked

Method

7 steps
  1. Step 1

    Grate the tomatoes into separate bowls by colour (darker red and red, yellow, and green). If any are tricky to grate, finely chop or crush them with a knife instead.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the grill to low. Brush the ciabatta slices lightly with olive oil, lay them on a tray and toast for about 4 mins, flipping halfway through, until lightly golden.

  3. Step 3

    While the bread toasts, add the Suino Nero to a small pan and fry for 2–3 mins over a medium heat until crispy. Set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the finely chopped red onion evenly between the three bowls of tomatoes. Season each bowl with a pinch of salt and stir well.

  5. Step 5

    While the toast is still warm, rub each slice with the garlic to infuse with flavour.

  6. Step 6

    Spread the grated tomatoes over the toasts, using one colour per slice (you should have about 4 slices of each colour).

  7. Step 7

    To serve, arrange the toasts over a platter then scatter over the crispy Suino Nero and sprinkle with the Top That Seasoning. Garnish with the basil leaves and dig in.
