Nothing beats a simple pasta dish for those busy weeknights. Ready in just 30 minutes, this sausage and tomato cheat's ragù is stirred through pasta and served with a generous helping of creamy mascarpone.
Tomato pairs beautifully with fiery ginger and garlic, making for a deliciously punchy sauce. Served with meaty monkfish, this recipe by Shaun Hill is incredibly simple yet effective.
Although most well-known as something you'd have for breakfast, tomato and black pudding are delicious in any number of dishes. In this recipe, a simple homemade tomato chutney is the star of the show (we'd recommend making extra!). It's served with fluffy flatbreads and crispy slices of Clonakilty black pudding.
Green, unripe tomatoes are, sadly, a much less popular ingredient for cooking than their ruby red cousins. However, green tomatoes' tart, sometimes acidic flavour make them perfect for pickling and serving as a garnish. This is a great recipe for reducing waste and making the most of any stubbornly unripe tomatoes.
Another classic combination, tomato and fennel are the star of the show in this risotto. Store cupboard essentials form the basis of this recipe, but the addition of a homemade sage and walnut pesto and a generous amount of burrata take this dish to the next level.
Although cooking a whole fish may seem like an intimidating prospect, Matt Beardmore shows just how easy it can be. Whole brill sits on top of sweet cherry tomatoes and wedges of fennel, making for a foolproof dish that is bursting with flavour and sure to impress.
Nargisse Benkabbou's simple one-pot dish is anything but simple in flavour. Packed generously with seafood and aromatic spices, this Moroccan tagine is a beautiful way to celebrate all things tomato and seafood.
Michael Caines gives classic tomato soup a makeover by using a base of dehydrated tomatoes for an ultra-intense, umami and spicy soup. Served with chopped fresh tomatoes and a vibrant basil oil, this soup is far from ordinary and absolutely worth the effort.
Summer sees the peak of tomato season, as well as many stone fruits. This recipe is the perfect way to showcase these in one dish, with confit tomatoes, charred peaches and creamy stracciatella making for a beautifully vibrant salad.
A summer picnic wouldn't be complete without a quiche, and this recipe is sure to be the centrepiece. Sun-dried tomatoes bring an intense tomato flavour to the creamy custard base, whilst fresh cherry tomatoes bring a welcome pop of sweetness with each bite.
No collection of tomato recipes would be complete without a classic tomato soup, and this simple recipe uses tinned tomatoes, meaning you can make it all year round. A topping of garlic herb croutons, the final flourish, make this soup utterly irresistible.
