Here’s my go-to recipe for a summer terrine with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. It’s a fresh and flavorful dish, and its unique presentation is sure to impress your guests.

This recipe is easy to prepare, but you’ll need to allow enough time for it to chill in the fridge.

You can serve this delicious summer terrine as an appetizer, or as a side dish with grilled meat or fish.

Enjoy, and thank you in advance for your comments!

Kitchen utensils
2 cake pans made of metal or glass

1
Dip the tomatoes in boiling water for about ten seconds, then peel them.
2
Cut them into wedges and remove the seeds. Place the tomato wedges in a colander, season with salt, and drizzle with vinegar.
3
Place in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours.
4
Cut the mozzarella into thin slices.
5
Cut a large piece of parchment paper so that it lines the inside of a loaf pan, with plenty of paper hanging over the edges on all sides.
6
Start by layering a layer of tomatoes, followed by mozzarella, and then basil. Repeat this process until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of tomatoes.
7
Fold the parchment paper over to cover the terrine. Place it in the refrigerator, with another mold on top weighted down with a 2-kg weight.
8
Let it rest for at least 12 hours. Turn the cake out by quickly inverting the pan onto a cake plate.
