This is a Turkish salad that’s great as a side but can also be used for a sauce over braai meat or for a roast chicken, or other, and is also a great relish for your burger wraps. The riper the tomatoes are, the better and if you like it less fiery, use less chillies. The raw tomato paste really lifts the flavours in this gorgeous dish.
