Tartare in all the Christmas menus! 🙂 Somehow this year I have been on a tartare inspired track so therefore also a vegetarian tartare of different types of tomatoes. Of course you can serve it as a generic salad but you can also make it a bit more special and serve it as a starter or side dish. The herbal sauce adds a nice bit of spicy flavour.

Ingredients for 4 pers.:

  • 250 gr tomatoes (all different kinds/colors)
  • spring onions
  • pine nuts
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • chives
  • fresh basil
  • fresh parsley
  • fresh mint
  • ½ lemon
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil

How to prepare it:

Put the herbs (chives, basil, parsley and mint) in a bowl for your food processor, add the juice of the lemon. Peel the garlic, remove the root and squeeze out the garlic. Add the garlic to the herbs. Add a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper as well. Mash everything until you have a nice, smooth green sauce.

Cut the tomatoes in half, remove the seeds and chop the tomatoes. Put them into a mixing bowl. Chop the spring onions and add them to the tomatoes. Add a bit of salt, pepper and olive oil and stir well.

Use a cooking ring to present the tartare. Make a nice round of the tomato mixture and use a spoon to add some of the herbal sauce. Sprinkle a bit of sauce on top of the tartare, add a couple of pine nuts on top and finish off with a nice basil leave.
