Crispy leaves made from Joseph's purple reign tomatoes
We source our tomatoes at ION Harbour from Joseph, a young farmer who found a love for farming when he took over his father’s farm, Ta Cikku, in Siggiewi, after his father sadly passed away. He grows his produce using minimal intervention methods, even allowing weeds to grow alongside the tomatoes to enhance soil health and provide natural shade for the plants.
The Purple Reign tomatoes we get from Joseph’s farm are the main ingredient used to create crispy leaves. The process of creating the leaf requires over 48 hours.
Purple Reign tomatoes from Joseph’s farm are blended with aromatics and strained overnight. The next day, the remaining juice is carefully moulded and dried for 24 hours to form an intricate, crisp leaf, which is then topped with homemade green tomato jam. To ensure nothing goes to waste, the leftover juice is served as a refreshing shot alongside the leaves.
