Tomato Terrine

Ingredients for Tomato Terrine

• 2 carote, tritate

• 1 leek, thinly sliced

• 1 gambo di sedano, tritato

• 1 shallot, halved

• 1 spicchio d'aglio

• 10 flat-leaf parsley sprigs

• 10 black peppercorns

• 3 fresh bay leaves (or 1 dried)

• 2.7kg large firm ripe tomatoes (a mix of colours but of similar size), peeled

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for seasoning

• 1 1/2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin

• 1/4 cup thinly sliced chives plus more

• 2 cucchiaini di aceto di vino rosso

• Spray antiaderente all'olio vegetale

• Olio extravergine di oliva

• Sale marino

• You will need two 8x4 1/2" loaf pans

Bring first 8 ingredients and 725ml water to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until stock yields 350ml , about 15 minutes. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large measuring cup. Strain stock, discarding solids. Cover; keep hot.

Set a fine-mesh strainer over another measuring cup. Cut each peeled tomato into 4 wedges. Place wedges, cut side up, on a work surface. Cut away seeds and pulp from tomato and transfer to strainer. Place filleted tomatoes on a double layer of paper towels to drain; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Pat tomatoes with more paper towels. Let stand for 30 minutes.

Press on seeds to yield 120ml tomato juice. Sprinkle gelatin over juice; let stand for 10 minutes to soften. Add to hot stock; whisk vigorously to dissolve gelatin. Stir in 1/4 cup chives, vinegar, and kosher salt to taste.

Spray 1 loaf pan with nonstick spray; line with plastic wrap, allowing for a 3" overhang on each side. Smooth plastic to remove wrinkles. Pour 120ml stock into pan. Chill until set, about 40 minutes. Arrange 1 layer of tomatoes in pan, pressing down gently, then drizzle 2 tablespoons stock mixture over. Repeat layering with remaining tomatoes and stock. Pour remaining stock over to fill pan. Cover terrine with plastic wrap. Place on a small rimmed baking sheet.

Place second loaf pan on top of terrine. Weigh down terrine by placing 2-3 small canned goods in top pan (some of liquid mixture in bottom pan may spill out). Chill terrine until set, about 6 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.

Uncover terrine; invert onto a platter. Remove pan and plastic wrap. Slice terrine; transfer to plates. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with chives and sea salt.
