Ingredients:

100g concentrated tomato purée
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp malt vinegar
1/2 tsp Creole hot sauce

Method:

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together until you obtain a smooth, even paste.

On a dehydrator sheet or silicone mat, roll out the paste to a thickness of 2mm.

Place in the dehydrator at 65°C for 2 hours if using a dehydrator sheet, or 3 hours if using a silicone mat. You can also dry in an oven pre-heated to 60°C for 4.5-5 hours.

Carefully turn the leather halfway through.

You can store the leather for up to a week by wrapping it in parchment paper and sealing it tightly with clingfilm (plastic wrap) to prevent contact with air.

You can also vacuum-pack the tomato leather between two sheets of greaseproof (waxed) paper.
