INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE TOMATO CAKE
- Make an incision in the top and base of each tomato. Blanch in boiling salted water for 2 minutes until the skin starts to loosen. Then submerge in salted ice water. Then peel the skin off each tomato, cut into quarters and remove the seeds.
- Season the tomato quarters with salt and pepper.
- Layer ¼ of the tomatoes in a 2-inch ring, adding a half teaspoon of tomato ketchup mixed with the ground cardamom between each layer. Work your way to the top of the ring and layer 2 cm over the top; cover with plastic wrap and place onto a plate.
- Add another plate on top, placing a couple cans over the top plate to add weight to the “press.”
- Refrigerate at least 5 hours.
FOR THE DRESSING
- Place all the ingredients into a bowl and whisk together.
FOR THE GOAT CHEESE
- Mix all the ingredients together.
FOR THE GARNISH
- Remove any of the tomato that has been pressed out over the side of the ring with a knife.
- Press the tomato cake into the center of the plate, layer the shallots around, spoon the dressing onto the shallots and garnish with the picked parsley.
- Top the cake with a quenelle of goat cheese and sprinkle with ground black pepper.
The Tomato Cake has been offered on the Enchanted Garden menu.
