Lebanese Tomato "Salsa"

This vibrant Lebanese tomato salsa is a wonderful example of how simple, high-quality ingredients can create a deeply savoury and aromatic dish. Known for its fresh yet comforting flavour profile, this vegan sauce relies on the natural sweetness of vine-ripened tomatoes and the cooling notes of mint. Unlike a typical raw salsa, this gently cooked version develops a rich, jammy consistency that makes it an versatile addition to any Middle Eastern-inspired spread.

Serve this versatile tomato dish at room temperature as part of a traditional mezze platter alongside creamy hummus and warm flatbreads. It is also an excellent healthy topping for grilled vegetables or a base for a light lunch. By using store-cupboard staples like olive oil and dried mint, you can bring a taste of the Mediterranean to your kitchen in less than fifteen minutes.
