About

This was cooked for me by a Greek friend, Jessica, and I immediately scribbled the recipe down on the back of a ciggy packet. It’s another wonderful dish and highly recommended with cold, crazy-making retsina and dominoes.

Ingredients

2 medium white-skinned onions
8 fat garlic cloves
6 tablespoons good olive oil, pl

Method

Peel the onions, cut in half lengthways and very finely slice. Peel and roughly chop the garlic to resemble assorted teeth. Warm the oil in a large, deep saucepan. Add the onion and garlic, cover and cook very gently until the onion is soft but not coloured, stirring occasionally.

Score the bottom of the tomatoes and cut out the stalk bases. Steep them in boiling water. After 30 seconds
