Tomato and watermelon gazpacho, creamy burrata

Recipe by Astrid Fronteau

Ingredients (for 6 people) :
6 Terroirs d’avenir beef heart tomatoes

400 g Terroirs d’avenir watermelon

1 Terroirs d’avenir cucumber half

125 g Terroirs d’avenir redcurrants

125g Terra Candido burrata

1 lime half Terroirs d’avenir

3 tablespoons L’Epicurien raspberry vinegar

2 tablespoons L’Epicurien olive oil

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 small Terroirs d’avenir red onion

1 small garlic clove Terroirs d’avenir

1 bunch Terroirs d’avenir basil

1 pinch Espelette pepper

Salt
Malabar pepper Olivier Roellinger

 

Recipe:
Peel and chop all the vegetables, remove the seeds from the cucumber, then strain the redcurrants. De-stem and crush garlic.

Place the tomatoes, watermelon, redcurrant, onion, lemon juice and crushed garlic in the blender and blend.

Add sesame oil, Espelette pepper and a pinch of salt. Blend again, adding oil and vinegar. Season with pepper.

Remove the leaves from the basil, chop and add to the mixture, using 2 strokes of a rapid blender to avoid over-chopping the basil.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Keep the soup cold in the fridge for at least an hour.

Finishing and straightening :
Serve chilled soup in a dessert cup. Just before serving, add a spoonful of burrata, a turn of the pepper mill and a beautiful basil leaf.

Enjoy with a flat breadstick or a piece of foccacia!
