Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons fresh minced basil or parsley or a combination of both
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 small, hot red pepper, minced or chili pepper flakes to taste
1 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus additional for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Split the tomatoes in half and squeeze the halves into a sieve over a small bowl to remove juice and seeds. Press the mixture in the sieve and reserve the liquid and the pulp.
  • 2. Puree the tomatoes in a food processor and pass through a food mill or strainer to remove the skins. (Or peel, seed, juice, and process tomatoes until smooth if you don't have a food mill.) Add the reserved juice to the pulp and measure 2 1/4 cups of tomato.
  • 3. Sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup tomato pulp in a medium-sized bowl, stir, and soak for 3 minutes. Heat 1/2 cup tomato pulp until boiling, add to the softened gelatin, and stir in to dissolve the gelatin. Add the rest of the tomato pulp, the basil, garlic, hot pepper, salt, and extra virgin olive oil. Divide the mixture into 6 lightly oiled 1/2-cup molds for at least 3 hours. unmold and top with a drizzle of extra virgin.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my aspic never set. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just turned into a watery mess.

I had some trouble getting the aspic to set properly. I think I may have used too much water. Otherwise, the flavor was great.

The tomato aspic was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add some more herbs or spices next time.
