Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 40 min.

Prepare 12 tomatoes, cut into sticks, sprinkle with fine salt, and leave to stand for 1 hour in a sieve to drain off some of the juice.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Prepare the marinade for the tomatoes: mix 15 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper and the juice of 3 limes.

Stage 3 - 1 hour

Tip the tomato sticks into the marinade, cover with stretch film and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese with herbs: mix half the 1 lb + 15.7 oz cream cheese with 3 shallots chopped very finely, the chives and parsley, very little salt (depending on your cheese) and pepper. Check seasoning and set aside.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Next prepare the cream cheese with walnuts: mix what is left of the 1 lb + 15.7 oz cream cheese with 5.3 oz walnut kernels roughly chopped, a little salt and plenty of pepper. Check seasoning and set aside.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

After marinating for an hour, tip the tomatoes into a sieve and drain thoroughly.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Line the bottom of a small terrine dish with stretch film to make turning out easier.

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Arrange a first layer of tomatoes in the bottom of the dish.

Stage 9 - 3 min.

Cover with a layer of cheese with herbs.

Stage 10 - 3 min.

Add a second layer of tomatoes.

Stage 11 - 3 min.

Finish with a layer of cheese with walnuts.

Cover with stretch film and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight if possible.

Stage 12 - 4 hours

Turn out onto a serving plate and slice to serve to your guests.

You can serve it as it is or with mayonnaise.

Remarks

Suitable cheeses include St-Moret and Gervais ("petit suisse" kind), or fresh goat's cheese. Whichever you choose, go easy on the salt, as these chesses are already salted.

To bring out the flavour of the nuts, you can dry roast them. Do this by putting them in the oven at 150°C (300°F) for 5 minutes. Leave them to cool completely before adding to the cheese.

Keeping

1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
