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 large bowl.
  • Grate the shallot on the small side of the grater.
  • Grate the tomatoes on the larger side of the grater.
  • Grate down to the skin. Discard the skins.
  • Add the seasonings, olive oil, vinegar, and parsley.
  • Whisk well. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Let is rest at room temperature for 15 minutes allows the flavors to develop.

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!
