Ingredients
 

For the sorbet:

  • 50 ml Olive water
  • To do this, boil 1 tablespoon olives in 100 ml water by half for approx. 5 minutes,
  • Pour through a sieve into a glass and allow to cool
  • 60 g Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Mild balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Tomato juice
  • 1 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Pesto green
  • Own production here

Tomatoes and Mozzarella:

  • 4 slices Buffalo mozzarella
  • 1 Beefsteak tomato fresh
  • 1 stem Basil leaves
  • 4 Basil tips for decoration
  • 1 Long pepper
  • Celery salt, fleur de sel, black pepper a.d. mill
  • 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

Sorbet:

  • Mix the olive water with the sugar, lemon juice, tomato juice, tomato paste and pesto with the whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Now put in a bowl in the freezer for several hours, it won't get rock hard.

Buffalo mozzarella:

  • The mozzarella slices, cut thinly, dry / brown in a preheated oven at 200 ° C for approx. 10 minutes and set aside. Unfortunately, my husband had to nibble on it again, so I improvised with rasps from the leftover piece.
  • TIP 3: Put in the freezer for half an hour beforehand, it is easier and more even to cut, or grate as shown here.

Tomatoes:

  • Score the beefsteak tomatoes crosswise and scald with boiling water, rinse in cold water and peel them, keeping the peel in a bowl. Cut the tomato into bite-sized pieces, set aside, adding the seeds and juice to the bowl. (results in just under 100 ml after later draining)
  • Mix the tomato peel, kernel and water with celery salt, fleur de sel and the coarsely crushed long pepper in a mortar, add half a basil stem, leave to stand for about 10 minutes and then pour through a fine sieve into a glass, refrigerate.
  • Season the tomato cubes with fleur de sel and black pepper from the mill, mix with a little balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, tear off the remaining basil leaves and mix in as well, refrigerate until serving.

Serving:

  • Divide the tomato cubes between 4 glasses, pour the tomato water over them and sprinkle with a few drops of olive oil. Place 1 knuckle on each of the sorbet, insert mozzarella slices and garnish with a basil tip each.
