Tomato sorbet
“When tomatoes are in abundance and at their best towards the end of summer, this sorbet is a winner. It can be served as a refreshing starter, with mozzarella skewers, or at the end of a meal or as a palate cleanser in between courses. The slight hint of chilli gives it a nice kick and the tomato and basil are a perfect combination. ”

Method
- Place a clean, empty plastic container in the freezer (unless you have an ice cream machine).
- Using a sharp knife, make a small cross-like incision on the base of each tomato, then plunge them in boiling water for about a minute to soften the skins. Drain and carefully peel away the skins.
- Cut the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds with the help of a teaspoon, catching the juices in a small bowl under a sieve. Discard the seeds.
- Place the tomatoes with their juice in a blender. Add the lemon juice, sugar, chilli slices and basil leaves and whizz until smooth.
- If you are using an ice-cream machine, pour the mixture inside and churn.
- Otherwise, pour into the cold container, cover with a lid and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
- Remove and stir well with a spoon, then replace in the freezer. Continue doing this every 30 minutes for about 3–4 hours, until you obtain a sorbet-like consistency.
- Remove from freezer about 5 minutes before serving, then scoop into bowls.
