Philippe Bertineaus Heirloom Tomato Salad With Farm Goat Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, scallions, dill, chives, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and set aside for up to 30 minutes.
• With a small serrated knife, cut the larger tomatoes in wedges through the stem and the smaller tomatoes in half through the stem. Place them in a medium bowl with the garlic, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
• When ready to serve, add the basil to the tomatoes and combine. Pile the ricotta in a large (12-inch) round shallow bowl or oval platter. Using a slotted spoon, place the tomatoes around the ricotta, discarding any liquid. Drizzle the tomatoes and ricotta with olive oil, sprinkle with the reserved basil and fleur de sel, and serve at room temperature.
• Set a fine-mesh sieve over a deep bowl. Dampen 2 pieces of cheesecloth with water and line the sieve with a double layer of the cheesecloth.
• Pour the milk and cream into a medium stainless-steel or enameled pot, such as Le Creuset, and stir in the salt. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and pour in the vinegar. Allow the mixture to stand for one minute, until it curdles. It will separate into thick parts (the curds) and milky parts (the whey).
• Pour the mixture into the cheesecloth-lined sieve and allow it to drain into the bowl at room temperature for 20 minutes (for soft ricotta) to 25 minutes (for firmer ricotta), occasionally discarding the liquid that collects in the bowl. Transfer the ricotta to a bowl, discarding the cheesecloth and any remaining liquid. Use immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. The ricotta will keep, refrigerated, for 4 to 5 days.

Steps:

• Divide the tomato, lamb, goat cheese, pomegranate, and chile between serving plates. Drizzle with the salsa verde and sprinkle with basil to serve.

Steps:

• Thinly slice tomatoes and arrange on salad plates in an overlapping fashion forming a ring, alternating colors as you go.
• Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and drizzle lightly with some of the olive oil and balsamic (reserve some for the arugula).
• Press wheels of goat cheese into the chopped pistachios, covering both sides.
• Place arugula into a small bowl and toss gently with olive oil, juice of the lemon, balsamic, salt, and pepper.
• Place approximately one cup of the arugula salad into the center of the tomatoes.
• Top arugula with pistachio goat cheese.
• Garnish with one half cherry tomato, if desired.

Steps:

• Slice the tomato.
• Put it on a plate.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small bowl toss the arugula with 1 tablespoon each of the olive oil and red wine vinegar. Season with salt. Divide the arugula between 2 serving plates.
• Toss the tomatoes with the remaining olive oil, vinegar, oregano, and salt. Arrange the tomatoes on the serving plates.
• Spread 1 ounce of goat cheese onto each slice of grilled bread. Serve 2 slices of grilled bread with goat cheese with each plate.
• Holy tomato!!
• August - Why We Love: Heirloom Tomatoes

Steps:

• Slice each large tomato crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Arrange each variety of tomato in alternating colors in a circle around a serving platter, then place the baby tomatoes in the center.
• Sprinkle the tomatoes with the minced shallots, oil, vinegars, salt and pepper. Marinate the tomatoes 2 minutes, turn over and marinate 2 minutes on the other side.
• Crumble the goat cheese on top of the tomatoes and sprinkle the chopped basil. Season with gray sea salt. Wait 10 minutes before serving. (Do not refrigerate.)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, add the vegetables (but not the tomatoes). Cover and sweat for 10 minutes, until soft but not brown. Add the bouquets garnis and tomatoes to 3 cups water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened but not overcooked, then season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the mixture to a large heatproof bowl and cool in a container of ice and water. (This will allow the tomatoes to retain their color.)
• Remove the bouquets garnis and, in batches, puree the mixture in a blender. Pass through a food mill into a large bowl and season to taste with salt, white pepper, Tabasco and celery salt. Refrigerate until cold (but not freezing) to taste the full flavor of the tomatoes.
• Ladle the cold tomato soup into soup bowls and place a spoonful of the guacamole in the center and then garnish with a basil flower.

Steps:

• Whisk the honey, vinegar, and ½ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. While whisking, add the oil in a slow, steady stream until emulsified.
• Pulse the corn nuts in a food processor until finely chopped.
• Arrange the tomatoes in serving dishes in a single layer and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt. Top with the watermelon and onion and drizzle with the dressing. Crumble the goat cheese and pluck the tarragon leaves on top. Sprinkle on the corn nuts and serve immediately.
