Combining flavors, stimulating the taste buds, playing with colors… I adore.
With my quail egg and tomato tartare, not only do I treat myself, but in addition, I offer my guests a festive starter at low cost!
A tartare is just a few finely chopped raw ingredients.
Often made with fish or meat, it also comes in a multitude of recipes.
Composed of quail eggs and tomatoes, it sure wows my guests!
- 4 tomatoes
- 6 quail eggs
- 3 shallots
- 1 bunch of fresh basil
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper
1. I immerse my tomatoes in a pot of boiling water for 15 seconds, then under cold water, and peel them.
2. I seed them and cut them into small dice.
3. I wash and chop my basil.
4. I peel and chop my shallots.
5. I mix my diced tomatoes, my basil, my shallots in a salad bowl.
6. I add my olive oil, salt and pepper.
7. I mix well and reserve my preparation in the refrigerator.
8. Just before serving, I arrange my tomato tartare in 6 small ramekins.
9. I break a quail egg yolk on top and place a basil leaf next to it for decoration.
For a more "chic" effect, I dress my tartare in aperitif spoons. This refined presentation will awaken your taste buds!
