tomato and strawberry beverage, with a note of basil

Peel and seed the ripe fragrant tomatoes.
Cut them into large cubes.
Drain in a colander over a bowl in order to
Collect their water.

Hull the strawberries and
Cut them in half.

Rinse ten basil leaves or so.

In a blender,
Place the tomatoes with
The rendered water,
The strawberries,
The basil leaves,
A pinch of salt, and
A drizzle of olive oil.
Blend.
The consistence should be that of a beverage.
Add water if needed.

Pour into a carafe, and
Serve in small glasses.
A delightful “amuse-bouche!”

- The quantities listed for the tomatoes, strawberries, and basil are merely suggestions!
It is important to taste, in order to appreciate the balance among the different flavors!

Our thanks go to Chef Manuel,
who treated us to this wonderful summer drink,
to be sipped and enjoyed at the beginning of a meal!

10 min very easy

Strawberries add a wonderfully subtle taste to this beverage.
For a pleasant change,
substitute watermelon for the strawberries!

For one carafe:

➢ 6 or 7 good-size ripe tomatoes
➢ 10 basil leaves
➢ 10 strawberries
➢ Pinch of salt
➢ Drizzle of olive oil
