Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients.
Step 2
Prepare the cherry tomatoes: Make an ‘X’ cut on the stem end of each cherry tomato. Then, blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. (Tip: If you have a hot water dispenser, its warm water setting works perfectly for this.)
Step 3
Peel the tomatoes: Once the cuts start to open up, rinse the tomatoes under cold water and gently peel off the skins.
Step 4
Lightly sauté the tomatoes: Add a very small amount of olive oil to a frying pan. Add the peeled cherry tomatoes and sauté lightly, moving them around about 4-5 times. (Tip: Avoid overcooking, as this will make the tomatoes mushy. Sauté just enough to maintain their shape.)
Step 5
Make the compote: Add sugar and water to the sautéed cherry tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
Step 6
Adjust sweetness: Modify the amount of sugar to achieve your desired level of sweetness.
Step 7
Simmer: Once the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture is gently bubbling, reduce the heat.
Step 8
Chill the compote: Transfer the cooked cherry tomato compote to a bowl and let it cool completely. (Tip: Be careful not to mash the tomatoes while cooking. Their shape should remain intact. For an even better taste, prepare this the day before and chill it in the refrigerator overnight.)
Step 9
Assemble the yogurt (Step 1): In your serving cup or bowl, start by adding a layer of muesli (or granola/cereal).
Step 10
Assemble the yogurt (Step 2): Generously spoon the yogurt on top of the muesli. Finally, top with the chilled cherry tomato compote and its syrup, arranging them attractively.
Step 11
Enjoy! Your delicious and refreshing Cherry Tomato Yogurt is ready! Savor every bite.
