Coeur de Boeuf Salad with Balsamico Cream and Argan Oil

Labels: { }

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




Coeur de Boeuf, originated from Italy, commonly known as ‘ox-hearts’, is known for its meaty, fleshy texture and fruity taste, and, of course, for its beautiful unusual shape. These 'old-fashioned' tomatoes are beautifully ribbed and ripen from the inside out, turning from green to orange into a deep red. Perfect for pastas and sauces and just superb in salads with fresh herbs and cheese.

  • 400 g Coeur de Boeuf tomatoes, thickly sliced
  • 10 Black olives, sliced into rings
  • Green pepper
  • Fleur de sel
  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • Balsamico cream
  • Argan oil
  1. Arrange the tomato slices on a platter.
  2. Scatter black olive rings and cilantro leaves over tomato slices.
  3. Sprinkle with cracked green pepper and salt. Drizzle the salad with balsamico cream and argan oil.

I love that funky shaped tomato; I didn't know argan oil is edible (used it for my hair). Learned something today ;-)

That is one gorgeous tomato! What does argan oil taste like? In any case, this looks beautiful. And I bet it tastes pretty, too!

Hi Angie,
I never tried out this kind of tomatoes, but saw them quite often. Time to change that. Same for the argan oil. Thanks for the inspiration through that post.

That is an amazing tomato, it looks really luscious. And I've only heard of argan oil being used as a beauty product. Interesting to know that it can be eaten, too.

Beautiful colours Angie. We used to be able to get these tomatoes easily but of course the large supermarkets have stopped that because they dont keep as well as the round tasteless ones. I love the look of this delicious dish

Couscous & Consciousness 19/5/14 11:12

What beautiful tomatoes. This is the kind of salad that I dream about all winter long. Ox-hearts are one of the varieties I grow in my garden over summer, and there is nothing better than one of these picked, still warm from the sun, straight from the vine onto the plate.

Eva Taylor 19/5/14 16:18

It sure is an unusual tomato and I just love the name.I'n annoyed with myself that we didn't bring back edible argon oil, I only brought back some for cosmetic use. I love the look of this salad, just brimming with spring gorgeousness.

Gosh Angie - did you grow this tomato? It is so beautiful and love the simple presentation. The flavor must be amazing. We have about 15 tomato plants - all heirloom, but no fruit yet! Can't wait to eat a plate of fresh sliced tomatoes. Bravo!
