Pablo Ojeda, the TV nutritionist, has shared on Más Vale Tarde a dish that he himself has described as "a great recipe." He has presented it as a healthy, simple option that's perfect for the warmer months. Without the need for many ingredients or complicated techniques, he has managed to whet the appetite with a proposal that has already won over viewers.
During his appearance, Ojeda wanted to highlight the benefits of a food that everyone has at home, but that we rarely make the most of: tomato. According to what he explained, we mostly use it as a base for sauces, sautés, or side dishes, but we hardly ever enjoy it raw. His recipe, precisely, aims to change that view with a surprising and flavorful dish.
Easy and refreshing recipe for summer: step by step
This is a tomato tartare with burrata, a fresh, flavorful, and very easy-to-prepare combination. The nutritionist has shown how, starting from very basic ingredients, one can build a visually appealing and nutritious dish. He has presented it as an ideal alternative for the weekly menu, perfect both for a light meal and for impressing guests at a lunch.
The preparation begins with three Roma tomatoes, which are easily peeled by blanching them for one minute in boiling water and then cooling them with ice. Ojeda has emphasized the importance of thoroughly removing the core and cutting only the tomato flesh into small cubes. He has said that this step makes the difference in the final texture of the tartare.
Next, half a spring onion, one tablespoon of pickles, and four anchovy fillets are chopped. Everything is mixed in a bowl with the drained tomato and seasoned with salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil, a bit of Modena vinegar, mustard, and a splash of gluten-free soy sauce. The result is an intense mixture, with contrast and personality.
Make your dish the most desired
The key to making this dish the favorite at any table lies in its presentation. The nutritionist has used a cooking ring to shape the mixture over a base of seasoned grated tomato. As a final touch, he has suggested serving it with toasted bread, thus achieving a balance of textures that rounds out the dish.
With this recipe, Ojeda has not only won over palates, but he has also conveyed a clear message. Eating healthy doesn't have to be boring or complicated. His tomato tartare proves that with simple, well-combined ingredients, one can create a truly great summer recipe.
