It’s hot outside, so you’re not hungry and the kitchen is best left to cool. The Italian caprese, consisting of the national colors green (basil), white (mozzarella) and red (tomatoes), is therefore popular. This recipe inspired another vegetable tricolor made from peas, onions and tomatoes. Food researcher Thomas Vilgis aims to get the best taste out of every kind of vegetable in this recipe. Fresh peas have a lot of flavor anyway – you could also eat them raw. Therefore, for this recipe, you just need to toss them briefly in a little fat. It is said that onions and tomatoes provide the umami flavor, but you can help with the intensity: Salt and a light soy sauce can be used with the onions. Tomatoes have a lot of flavor in the cavities that can be separated and crushed. Preserved, this vegetable tricolor brings variety to the summer kitchen.
