Kumato Puttanesca Salad

Inspiration for this simple salad comes from the flavours of a popular Neapolitan puttanesca sauce, which usually contains tomatoes, anchovies, garlic and capers. You can make this all year round with any kind of tomatoes you like, but it would make a really good summer salad when tomatoes and fresh herbs are in abundance.
Kumato tomato is a unique product of natural crossbreeding among several varieties, including some wild Mediterranean specimens. It is succulent, sweet and slightly tart and has a strong distinctive taste that changes as the tomato colour moves from green to brown to dark red.

 
  • 3 Anchovy fillets in oil, drained
  • 60 ml Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tsp Dried chilli flakes
  • 30 ml White wine vinegar
  • 40 g Baby arugula leaves
  • 350 g Kumato tomatoes
  • 2 Spring onions, finely chopped
  • 10 g Baby capers, rinsed and drained
  • 50 g Pitted black olives, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp Flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
  • 25 g Parmesan, shaved
  1. Finely chop the anchovies then use a fork to mash them to a paste. Add to a small non-stick frying pan with 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes over medium heat until dissolved. Add the garlic and chilli flakes, cook for 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl and cool for 10 minutes. Stir in remaining oil, vinegar and season with pepper.
  2. Scatter the arugula leaves over a serving platter. Slice the tomatoes and arrange on the platter. Top with the spring onions, capers, olives, parsley and parmesan. Spoon over the dressing & season with pepper.

Kumato looks lovely, we usually have just one kind of tomatoes in the green market, not much choice, sadly. I made oat crust pizza today with carrots, shrooms and red peppers.

El kumato me encanta, las ensaladas cobran vida con tan buen producto. Y con esa salsa, el sabor debe ser increíble.

I like any kind of tomatoes. Together with pitted black olives, parmesan, white vinegar, onions , and part or all of the other ingredients - it makes for a delicious, nice looking salad.

Hi Angie, My better half would love this salad! It features lots of things that I don't eat and we wouldn't have at home. As for the cows that ran loose in our neighborhood, I know why you love cows...Good Eating! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

I love the colours of that tomato, first time I had seen them. Sweet tart and distinctive, sounds like a good tomato for a pasta sauce

Kumato tomatoes are just coming into the market here. I got some the other night and grilled them on skewers with lamb. It’s a brilliant combination. I definitely want to try this salad, as we are getting into warmer weather, and salads are what we want. David (C&L)
