chilled tomato consomméThe burgundy ball on the lower left corner is the byproduct of two kilos of tomatoes (as well as basil, horseradish, vodka, etc) blended, poured into muslin and left to drip overnight in the refrigerator. It looks a bit like felt to me.
In the holiday spirit N decided to test out the "Jamie at Home" tomato consommé (a take on the Bloody Mary). I thought it might interest Julie as the recipe includes beetroot.
2 kilos Tomatoes
Vodka
fresh horseradish (pinkie-sized chunk, peeled)
basil (handful)
2 cloves garlic
salt, pepper, dash of vinegar
Blend it all together. Place sheet of muslin in a bowl. Pour pulp into muslin and knot ends together. Hook and hang in refrigerator with bowl underneath to catch the clear liquid. The consommé will filter through the muslin into bowl. Slice a bit of peeled beetroot into the bowl. This will give a lovely color to the otherwise clear liquid.

is this a dessert? side dish? a Cracker spread? I just made Ashkenazic Haroset. Nice and Light for a summer dish on crackers.
