Ingredients

What you need

• 200g grape tomatoes, quartered lengthways, finely diced
• 2 small eschalots, finely chopped
• 1 tsp red wine vinegar
• 24 slices hot salami
• 200g fresh ricotta
• 2 tbsp pitted kalamata olives, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil leaves, plus extra small leaves, to serve

Method

Step 1. Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan-forced. Place a wire rack over a large baking tray with sides.

Step 2. Place the tomato, eschalot, and vinegar in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to allow the flavours to develop.

Step 3. Meanwhile, place salami, in a single layer, on wire rack. Bake for 10 minutes or until crisp. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Step 4. Place ricotta, olives and basil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Place salami rounds on a serving plate. Top each with 2 teaspoons ricotta mixture, being careful not to break salami.

Step 5. Drain the tomato mixture. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the tomato mixture onto ricotta mixture. Top with extra basil leaves. Serve.
