Tomatoes au Naturel

Ingredients

• very small tomatoes
• oil
• vinegar
• 1 small sprig parsley
• beurre vert (green butter)

Instructions

1. Select very small tomatoes and peel them. Press the peeled tomatoes gently in a cloth to remove excess moisture. Marinate them with oil and vinegar.
2. To finish: place a small sprig of parsley at the top of each tomato to imitate the natural stem. Using a pastry bag (cornet), pipe beurre vert (green butter) around the tomato to create the appearance of leaves.
3. Alternatively, the tomatoes may be stuffed with a filling of your choice and finished according to standard methods.
