Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 2 small shallots
- to soak ice water
- 1/4 cup pistachios
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Burnt Honey Vinaigrette
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 cup fennel
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- 1Slice the ripe tomatoes and arrange them on a serving platter; set aside.
- 2In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the honey and stir continuously until it deepens to an amber color and releases a caramelized aroma (about 2‑3 minutes).
- 3Add the sliced fennel to the caramelized honey and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- 4Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the red wine vinegar followed by the olive oil, creating a warm vinaigrette; let it cool for 2 minutes.
- 5Place the sliced shallots in a bowl of ice water and let them soak for 5 minutes to stay crisp, then drain well.
- 6While the vinaigrette cools, pulse the pistachios in a mortar or food processor until they form a coarse powder.
- 7Drizzle the warm burnt‑honey vinaigrette evenly over the tomato slices, allowing the heat to slightly soften the tomatoes.
- 8Scatter the soaked shallots over the dressed tomatoes, then sprinkle the pounded pistachios on top for crunch.
- 9Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
