Method:

  1. Slit the tomatoes & place into a bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to sit for 5 minutes so the skin begins to peel off.  Peel & chop the tomatoes and set aside
  2. In a frypan, add a few tablespoons of olive oil to a frypan and add the onion, garlic, chilli and begin to fry until soft and translucent.  Add the tomatoes and allow to cook for a few minutes, season with salt and pepper.
