Tomato Olive Caper Compote

This vibrant tomato, olive and caper compote is a versatile vegan staple that brings a burst of Mediterranean flavour to any meal. By slowly simmering fresh tomatoes with salty olives and tangy capers, you create a rich, savoury relish that balances acidity with deep umami notes. It is a wonderful way to use up seasonal summer tomatoes, providing a fresh alternative to heavy shop-bought sauces.

Quick to prepare and naturally healthy, this chunky sauce is an excellent addition to a balanced diet. Serve it warm as a sophisticated topping for grilled seabass or chicken breasts, or simply toss it through al dente pasta for a speedy midweek supper. It also works beautifully chilled, served alongside crusty sourdough as part of a plant-based sharing platter.
