PROCEDURE

STEP 1

Start with the tomato confit. Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes, cut them in half and lay them on a tray lined with baking paper, making sure to turn them so that the cut faces upwards. Chop the garlic and thyme together, add salt and pepper to the cherry tomatoes and flavour them with the chopped herbs; at this point, sprinkle them with cane sugar and oregano. Pre-heat the oven to 140° and bake the tomatoes for around 2 hours.

STEP 2

In the meantime, place the goat’s milk ricotta in a strainer, cover it, put a weight on top and leave it to drain. After a while, move it to the blender together with the finely chopped chives and a little pepper, and blend quickly to obtain a smooth mousse.

STEP 3

Break the carasau bread and rub every piece with garlic. Lay your croutons on a tray lined with baking paper, spray them with a little olive oil and bake them for a couple of minutes in the pre-heated oven at 200°.

STEP 4

After this, add some spoonfuls of goat’s milk ricotta and chive mousse on top of every crouton, place them on a serving plate and complete them with the tomato confit (you will need at least two tomatoes per crouton).

Serve the carasau bread croutons as soon as they are ready. Enjoy your meal!
