Edible parts

Ripe fruits
Recipe idea for your Plum Regal F1 Italian tomato harvest. Prepare a quick sauce with your harvested tomatoes. Cut them into pieces and sweat a thinly sliced onion in a saucepan with olive oil. Add the tomatoes, a crushed clove of garlic, and a small sprig of thyme. Let simmer uncovered, stirring, until the flesh breaks down and the juice reduces. Remove the thyme sprig. For a smooth texture, pass the sauce through a food mill; for a rustic sauce, simply crush the pieces with a spoon. Adjust salt at the end of cooking and serve over pasta or with roasted vegetables. The size of the fruit should guide your cutting: keep small fruits bite-sized and divide large tomatoes into easy-to-eat pieces. Very juicy flesh is best added at the last moment in a fresh preparation.
