Ingredients

  • 1 large, ripe tomato
  • 1 small shallot
  • 2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • pinch of sugar, optional (see notes)

Instructions

  • Place a box grater inside a big bowl.
  • Grate the shallot on the smallest side of the grater.
  • Slice the tomato in half horizontally.
  • Grate each tomato half on the larger side of the grater.
  • Grate down to the skin, and discard the skins.
  • Add all of the other ingredients.
  • Whisk well to combine and taste. Adjust the acid, sweetness, and salt. ** see notes

Notes

This is best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
If your tomatoes are acidic, you may need a pinch of sugar to balance that out. If they're already sweet like mine were, you may not need to add any sweetener.
Adjust the acid, salt, and seasonings to your taste, but only add a pinch at a time. You can always add more, but it's more difficult to fix once you've added too much.
Serve with greens, drizzled over grilled fish, chicken, or veggies, or sop it up with crusty bread and enjoy!
