Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Tomato Dashi

    Start by making the tomato dashi. In a blender, combine the tomatoes and dashi stock. Blend until smooth.

  2. 2

    Strain the Mixture

    Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove any solids. Use a spatula to press down and extract as much liquid as possible.

  3. 3

    Season the Dashi

    Stir in salt and black pepper to the strained tomato dashi. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Shooter

    In small shot glasses, place a few pieces of giardiniera at the bottom. Add a fresh mozzarella ball on top of the giardiniera.

  5. 5

    Add Tomato Dashi

    Carefully pour the prepared tomato dashi over the mozzarella ball until the glass is about three-quarters full.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Drizzle olive oil on top and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the dashi is fresh. Enjoy your mozzarella shooters!
