Now is the season to be eating tamarillos — they are plump and colourful. This dish is perfect for brunch; it’s soft and packed full of flavour with a little hint of tartness. Serve this combination with a scoop of icecream for a quick dessert.

Tamarillos store well in the fridge for up to five days. If you have extra don’t forget to make some chutney to see you through summer.
