Ingredients
Preparation
Start with the concassé tomato: boil water in a small pot, score an X on the tomato and immerse it for 15 seconds. Then cool it in cold water, peel it, cut it in half and remove the central part to put in the blender. Cut everything into fine cubes and mix with mint, salt, pepper, and extra virgin olive oil. Now place the peeled and chopped cucumber, chives, hazelnuts, and basil, salt, pepper, and oil in the blender and blend everything. Separately, cut the mozzarella in half, dry it with a paper towel and fill it in the middle with the tomatoes. Close the mozzarella like a sandwich. Place the cucumber and hazelnut cream in the bowl, place the mozzarella on top and decorate it with aromatic herbs, salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and lemon zest.
If you like, pair with bread or croutons to complete the dish.
