Grape Tomatoes

Grape tomatoes are small in size and grape-like in shape. They have a sweet succulent flavour. Grape tomatoes come in both red and yellow varieties.

How to buy

Look for bright red or yellow tomatoes with a smooth skin. They should feel relatively heavy for their size, and be free of any soft patches.

How to store

Refrigerate in original container in the crisper section of your fridge and use as soon as possible.

How to cook

Preheat a barbecue grill on medium-high. Thread pieces of grape tomatoes, cubed zucchini and haloumi alternating onto skewers. Lightly spray with olive oil and cook the skewers on a medium-heated grill or BBQ until golden brown. Drizzle with basil oil.

To make a pungent sauce to drizzle over BBQ chicken, lamb, beef or pork, add some chopped garlic into a frying pan with olive oil. Add grape about 250g of grape tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of vinegar, then cover and cook gently for 5 minutes until softened.

Go well with

Feta and goats cheese, basil, zucchinis and are a great decorative addition to any meat dish or salad.
