Tomato water and fennel purée

by Giorgio and Gian Pietro Damini
Item 1 of 1

A refreshing blend of fennel and tomato, the Damini brothers recommend using camone tomatoes for these canapés if you can find them. These Sardinian and Sicilian tomatoes develop a unique sweet and salty flavour that gives this dish the edge.
