Chef notes
I love this recipe because it's so simple yet so satisfying. It's full of fresh tomatoes, garlic, toasted almonds and Parmigiano. It's delicious and different, and very Italian.
Technique tip: Great way to use over-ripe tomatoes in the summer.
Swap option: You can sub the cherry tomatoes for any very ripe tomato.
Preparation
Add the peeled almonds and garlic to a blender or food processor and pulse until slightly chunky. Then add the remainder of the ingredients and pulse until well combined. Adjust seasoning with kosher salt, to taste.
