Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 500 g (18 oz.) medium Tomatoes
- 1 large ripe Tomato (180-200 g / 6-7 oz.)
- 8 black olives
- 20 g (2/3 oz.) red rice
- 20 g (2/3 oz.) wild rice
- 2 thin green onions
- 15 g (1 tbsp.) pine nuts
- 40 g (3 tbsp.) mayonnaise
- 2-3 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. sherry vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Method
- Cook the two rices separately - allow about 1 hour for the red rice and 1 hour 15 minutes for the wild rice. After cooking, refresh and drain.
- Blanch the tomatoes. Completely skin the large tomato, cut it into quarters, seed, and cut the flesh into small cubes.
- For the small tomatoes, remove the skin by beginning at the bottom of the tomato and peeling up towards the stem end. Cut off a lid and hollow out the centres. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Pit the olives and dice finely. Finely chop the onions.
- Toast the pine nuts under the broiler or in a skillet with 1 tbsp. olive oil.
- Set aside 1 tbsp. diced tomato, 1 tbsp. chopped onion and half of the olives. Season with 2 tbsp. olive oil, the vinegar, salt and pepper.
- Combine the remaining vegetables and pine nuts with the two rices. Bind with the mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper.
- Stuff the small tomatoes and replace the lids.
- Place 2 tomatoes on each plate and arrange the diced vegetables combined with the vinaigrette around them.
