Vine Ripened Beefsteak Tomato with Roquefort and Garden Radish
- 6 beefsteak tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons wood aged red wine vinegar
- 1 ounce of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 bunch flat leaf parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 bunch chervil
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 18 bunch radishes
- 6 ounces Roquefort cheese
- Blanch all tomatoes in salted water for 30 seconds and dunk in ice water, then remove skin off of tomatoes.
- Remove interior juice and seeds from tomatoes and pour through a strainer into a bowl.
- To make the vinaigrette mix fresh tomato juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil and seasonings then set aside.
- In a pot of salted boiling water, submerge parsley and remove; place in a blender, add seasonings and olive oil, blend for 5 to 7 minutes and strain for 30 minutes through a chinois.
- Slice outside of tomato off making four slices and divide the rest of the tomato interior into four parts.
- Form the tomato into a three inch ring, first with the interior of the tomato then the exterior of the tomato so it resembles the original tomato and place it into an oversized bowl.
- Pour the vinaigrette equally into six bowls and garnish the tops of the tomatoes with thinly sliced onions and chervil.
