Preparation

In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil, fennel seeds, sesame seeds, and Aleppo pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and ‘sizzle’ until the fennel seeds are just golden and fragrant. Be attentive, as this will happen quickly (approximately 30 seconds to a minute).

Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the sliced garlic and flaky salt. Stir to combine; the garlic will sizzle and mellow from the residual heat in the oil. Set aside

Smear the sour cream onto a large serving plate.  Top the sour cream with the chopped tomatoes and peaches. Sprinkle a little flaky sea salt over the tomatoes.

Spoon the warm fennel seed dressing over the entire salad. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Note

If you can’t get heirloom tomatoes, any large ripe tomatoes will work perfectly.
Ensure your tomatoes are at room temperature and haven’t been stored in the fridge, as this can affect their flavour and texture. It’s best to keep them on the bench. If preparing the tomatoes and peaches in advance, simply keep the chopped tomatoes covered at room temperature until ready to use.

If you’re preparing this salad to take somewhere, the dressing can be made ahead of time on the same day and kept at room temperature, then drizzled over the salad when ready to serve.

Leftover salad can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days.

If you prefer a lighter option, thick unsweetened Greek yogurt can be substituted for sour cream.
