Tomato sorbet is a refreshing and light option, perfect for summer or as an aperitif. It can be served with salads, fish, or even on its own as an appetizer. This sorbet highlights the natural sweetness and acidity of the tomato, with a touch of seasoning to enhance its flavors.
Ingredients :
- 400g ripe tomatoes (about 4 medium tomatoes)
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup (adjust according to the sweetness of the tomatoes)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or adjust to 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 pep)
Preparation :
- Prepare the tomato base
. In a blender, combine the chopped tomatoes with the agave syrup, salt, a drizzle of olive oil, and basil (if using). Blend well until smooth and even. Taste to adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or even agave syrup, depending on the flavor of the tomatoes. - Strain the mixture
Pass the mixture through a sieve to remove the small seeds and obtain a smooth sorbet. This gives 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. - Turbine with the Sorbet program
The next day, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and start the “Sorbet” . In just a few minutes, you will 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 twist, try serving this tomato sorbet with fresh basil leaves or even some diced mozzarella for a caprese-style starter. 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 have it, your tomato sorbet is ready! It's a refreshing and flavorful option, perfect for hot days or to add a touch of freshness to a meal. Enjoy!
