A Tomato with Mozzarella

Ingredients

  • 4 cocktail tomatoes
  • 1 ball of Mozzarella di Bufala
  • 50g of chopped purple or black olives
  • 5 fresh basil leaves
  • 5 cl of heavy cream
  • A dash of sherry vinegar
  • 2 cl of olive oil
  • Arugula
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Cut the tops off the tomatoes and remove a bit of the bottom to create stability. Hollow out the tomatoes to remove the seeds, season the inside with salt, and turn them upside down. Set aside at room temperature.

Use a fork to mash the mozzarella. Add the olives, season with salt and pepper, the dash of sherry vinegar, olive oil, and cream. Mix and finish with finely chopped basil.

Stuff the tomatoes, replace the tops, and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.

Serve the tomatoes on a bed of arugula and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
