Confit Tomatoes with Whipped Ricotta

  • Prep time: 30 minutes
  • Cook time: 30 minutes
  • Total time: 1 hour
  • Serves: 4 People

Ingredients

  • 200 g Perino tomatoes
  • Water
  • Ice cubes
  • Olive oil
  • 1 Lemon
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 3 sprigs Thyme
  • Salt
  • 1 L Milk
  • Sourdough
  • Honey, (optional)

Method

  • 1)

    Preheat your oven to 180C.

  • 2)

    To prepare the tomato confit, start by carefully cutting little crosses at the bottom of 200g of Perino tomatoes, then place them into a small saucepan.

  • 3)

    Next put some ice cubes and water into a heatproof bowl and then bring your kettle to boil.

  • 4)

    Once boiled, cover the tomatoes with boiling water and leave for approx. 30 seconds.

  • 5)

    When the tomatoes begin popping out their skins, transfer the tomatoes into the ice water.

  • 6)

    Now gently pull the skins off the tomatoes (this should be super easy!) then place the peeled tomatoes back into the saucepan.

  • 7)

    Cover the tomatoes with a generous amount of olive oil.

  • 8)

    To flavour the oil, start by putting 2 peels of a lemon into the saucepan.

  • 9)

    Next add a crushed garlic clove, the leaves of a few sprigs of thyme and a pinch of salt.

  • 10)

    Then place the saucepan into the oven at 180C for approx. 30 minutes.

  • 11)

    For the ricotta, start by popping 1L of milk into a saucepan.

  • 12)

    Next put the saucepan on medium heat on a small stove burner (you want to slowly bring the temperature of the milk up to 85C just before it starts to boil).

  • 13)

    Once heated, pour the juice of 1 lemon into the saucepan and give it a stir.

  • 14)

    Set aside to curdle for a couple minutes then strain using a sieve.

  • 15)

    Now place the ricotta into a bowl, then add a pinch of salt, lemon zest and thyme leaves into the ricotta.

  • 16)

    Whisk the ingredients together until combined.

  • 17)

    To serve, toast 4 slices of sourdough, then smear approx. 1 tablespoon of ricotta onto each slice.

  • 18)

    Next place a few of the cooked tomatoes on top (don’t forget to get some of the confit oil too!) then drizzle some honey over.

  • 19)

    Finally sprinkle with some lemon zest, thyme leaves and salt, then finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
