Tomato sorbet is a refreshing and light option, perfect for summer or as an appetizer. It can accompany salads, fish, or even be served on its own as a snack. This sorbet highlights the natural sweetness and acidity of the tomato, with a touch of seasoning to enhance its flavors.
Ingredients :
- 400g of ripe tomatoes (about 4 medium tomatoes)
- 1 tablespoon of agave syrup (adjust according to the sweetness of the tomatoes)
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt (or adjust to your taste)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil (for a touch of sweetness)
- Herbs! Basil, thyme, rosemary, herbes de Provence, have fun with the seasoning!
- A turn of the pepper mill (optional, for a little extra zing)
Preparation :
- Prepare the tomato base.
In a blender, combine the chopped tomatoes with the agave syrup, salt, a drizzle of olive oil, and the basil, if using. Blend well until smooth and homogeneous. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or even more agave syrup, depending on the flavor of the tomatoes. - Filter the mixture.
Pass the mixture through a sieve to remove any small seeds and obtain a smooth sorbet. This ensures a pleasant and homogeneous texture. - Pour into the Ninja Creami container.
Transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, being careful not to exceed the MAX FILL . Place it in the freezer for 24 hours to allow the sorbet to set completely. - Churn using the Sorbet program.
The next day, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and start the "Sorbet" . In just a few minutes, you'll have a refreshing and delicately flavored tomato sorbet. - Respin Tip:
If the texture is too firm, use the Respin to soften it. You can add a little water (about 30 ml) if necessary to adjust the consistency.
My Personal Tip:
For a little twist, try serving this tomato sorbet with fresh basil leaves or even some diced mozzarella for a "caprese"-style appetizer. A drizzle of balsamic vinegar or olive oil on top can also enhance the tomato flavor. It's a light and sophisticated way to enjoy tomatoes in the summer!
There you go, your tomato sorbet is ready! It's a refreshing and flavorful option, perfect for hot days or to add a touch of coolness to a meal. Enjoy!
