Making the tomato sorbet — 30 minutes

PLACE the tomato sorbet mixture into your ice cream maker. In about 30 minutes, the sorbet will be frozen enough. The time will depend on the ice cream maker, we’ve used a magimix la turbine a glace.

SCOOP the sorbet into an airtight container and transfer to the freezer. It can be used up to 3 weeks.

Tomato sorbet can be great as a starter, or use it as a addition to a starter. For example with some lettuce, balsamic vinegar and cucumber. Enjoy your tomato sorbet!
