Ingredients
- Tomato - one per person
- White Tuna belly - 40 g per tomato
- Hard-boiled egg - 1/2
- Ketchup - 2 table spoons
- Mayonnaise - 2 table spoons
- Perrins salsa - to taste
- Bread - a slice for the salmorejo
- Basil - to taste
- Olive oil
- Salt flakes
Instructions
- Cut out the spot where the stem attaches to the tomato, making a cut to eliminate it so that it can be emptied with a spoon
- In the bottom part, (the one in contact with the plate), make a small X-shaped cut that will help peel it later.
- Dip the tomato in boiling water for 30 seconds, then quickly in ice water for another minute.
- Take it out, peel it and slowly empty it with a spoon, taking out small balls and making a hole without breaking it (since it is already peeled, it is more delicate). Save these balls for later.
- Once the tomato is empty, set aside (leaving the entire skin, without breaking it).
- Mix together 40 g of White Tuna belly, a hard-boiled egg, a tablespoon of ketchup, two tablespoons of mayonnaise and Perrins salsa to taste. Mash the mixture, introduce it into a piping bag and fill the tomato.
- Mix together the tomato leftovers, two basil leaves and a slice of bread to prepare the basil salmorejo. Mash the mixture and add salt and olive oil to taste.
- Spread the salmorejo as a base on a plate and place the tomato on top, the part used for the filling facing down.
- Once the tomato is placed, add Maldon salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
- For the presentation, make a small incision on the top and add a fresh basil leaf to enhance the color and aroma.
Simply spectacular! Thank you, Noelia!
