Tomato Sorbet
Serves: 4
Ready in: 60 mins +
A blissful savoury sorbet made from chopped tomatoes, a suspicion of orange zest, and a dash of Tabasco for a blush of heat. Needless to say, a splash of vodka makes this even more appealing!
Ingredients:
75g caster sugarwater to cover
400g can Cirio Chopped Tomatoes
finely grated zest of half an orange
6 drops Tabasco
15ml vodka
2 free-range egg whites, whisked stiff
basil leaves for decoration
method:
- First make the syrup. Place sugar in and pan and cover with water. Dissolve sugar over gentle heat, then bring to bubbling for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and leave to cool.
- Place the chopped tomatoes in a processor and whizz smooth. Sieve, and press through all the flesh and juice. Discard the seeds.
- Transfer pulp to a bowl and add syrup and orange zest. Splash in Tabasco and Vodka. Whisk egg whites stiff and fold into mix. Stir well and transfer to a freezer container to freeze. Halfway through freezing while still slushy, remove from freezer and whisk. Return to freezer.
- Chill serving glasses - or shot glasses. Remove sorbet from fridge to soften slightly, then spoon, or scoop into glasses. Decorate with basil leaves.
