Mediterranean tomatoes are one of the easiest, tastiest and probably most frugal dishes in the world. It's just the right time now to takes advantage of the coming glut of tomatoes - especially those from Cyprus or Turkey.
The recipe is so simple, it's almost a cheat.
Slice the tomatoes, cut them into chunks or do both; a solitary colour looks lovely or a myriad of colours takes on a carnival air.
