Nutty, tasty, chewy comfort food … just spoon it in
A friend recently lamented that “British tomatoes are still terrible”, after which I pushed over the table we were sitting at and squashed a local farmer’s market tomato in his face. OK, so I didn’t, really (and perhaps there was a time when you might have mistaken a British one for a wet tissue), but these days our tomatoes are truly great. My favourites are grown in Yorkshire or on the Isle of Wight, and the piccolini variety sold by a certain supermarket. It might seem contradictory to cook your best cherry tomatoes into spelt, but I do believe that good ingredients beget good food.
