Ingredients
-
2 large tomatoes
-
3/4 cup of diced old bread
-
3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (I think this really revves up tomatoes)
-
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, course
-
-
water, from the tomato (=6 tablespoons)
-
tomato juice (or V8)
-
5 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon pepper
-
1 1/2 tablespoons chives, fresh (chopped finely)
-
4 tablespoons onions (chopped finely)
Instructions
- Half the tomatoes and give them a gentle squeeze into a sieve to release the seeds. Push a spoon to gently press out as much juice as possible. Discard seeds.
- Dice tomato into 1/4 inch pieces.
- Add rest of ingredients, (except for The Water Sauce), mixing gently.
- Measure out 6 tablespoons of tomato water. If you don't have enough, use canned tomato juice or V-8 so you will measure the right amount.
- Put all ingredients for the "Water of the Tomato" together and mix to emulsify.
- Serving time comes right now, carefully take a good scoop of tomato tartare mixture and place in the center of a china plate. Or a plastic plate. Whatever you have. But you will have enough for 4 good sized servings for each plate.
- Spoon 1/4 of the tomato water on each serving.
- Garnish with parsley.
- Pretend you are dining with the "King and Queen".
