Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 carrots, chopped
1 leek, thinly sliced
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 shallot, halved
1 garlic clove
10 flat-leaf parsley sprigs
10 black peppercorns
3 fresh bay leaves (or 1 dried)
6 pounds large firm ripe tomatoes (a mix of colors but of similar size), peeled
1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for seasoning
1 1/2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup thinly sliced chives plus more
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Special Equipment
You will need two 8x4 1/2" loaf pans

Steps:

  • Bring first 8 ingredients and 3 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until stock yields 1 1/2 cups, about 15 minutes. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large measuring cup. Strain stock, discarding solids. Cover; keep hot.
  • Set a fine-mesh strainer over another measuring cup. Cut each peeled tomato into 4 wedges. Place wedges, cut side up, on a work surface. Cut away seeds and pulp from tomato and transfer to strainer. Place filleted tomatoes on a double layer of paper towels to drain; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Pat tomatoes with more paper towels. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  • Press on seeds to yield 1/2 cup tomato juice. Sprinkle gelatin over juice; let stand for 10 minutes to soften. Add to hot stock; whisk vigorously to dissolve gelatin. Stir in 1/4 cup chives, vinegar, and kosher salt to taste.
  • Spray 1 loaf pan with nonstick spray; line with plastic wrap, allowing for a 3" overhang on each side. Smooth plastic to remove wrinkles. Pour 1/2 cup stock into pan. Chill until set, about 40 minutes. Arrange 1 layer of tomatoes in pan, pressing down gently, then drizzle 2 tablespoons stock mixture over. Repeat layering with remaining tomatoes and stock. Pour remaining stock over to fill pan. Cover terrine with plastic wrap. Place on a small rimmed baking sheet.
  • Place second loaf pan on top of terrine. Weigh down terrine by placing 2-3 small canned goods in top pan (some of liquid mixture in bottom pan may spill out). Chill terrine until set, about 6 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Uncover terrine; invert onto a platter. Remove pan and plastic wrap. Slice terrine; transfer to plates. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with chives and sea salt.

This terrine was a great way to use up my garden-fresh tomatoes. It was easy to make and it was a big hit with my family.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I had to make several substitutions and the terrine didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. But it was still tasty.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The terrine was a little dry and the flavors were not very well-balanced. I probably won't make it again.

This recipe was a disaster! The terrine didn't set properly and it was a gooey mess. I had to throw it away. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This terrine was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a more flavorful cheese. But overall, it was a good recipe and I would try it again.

I'm not a big fan of tomatoes, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The terrine was very flavorful and the tomatoes were not overpowering. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the terrine came out delicious. I used a variety of tomatoes, including cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes. The terrine was a beautiful addition to my summer barbecue.

This tomato terrine was a delightful surprise! The combination of fresh tomatoes, herbs, and cheese was perfect, and the terrine itself was beautifully presented. I will definitely be making this again.
