Tomato and Crab Bisque with Caprese Salad
Step 16:
Caprese salad is simple to create, yet complex and refreshing in flavour. Good, fresh ingredients are key to its construction, so here's what you'll need:
2 tomatoes
Bocconcini cheese
12-15 fresh basil leaves
15ml olive oil
5ml Balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper
Slice the tomatoes like you would for a sandwich. Not too thick, not too thin. Do the same with the cheese and shred or chop up the basil. Combine olive oil and vinegar in a vessel and mix well, adjusting quantities to taste.
Arrange tomatoes and cheese on a small plate, either by layering or stacking the ingredients and drizzle the oil and vinegar over everything sparingly. Add salt and pepper, and refridgerate.
Your bisque should be ready at this point. Taste it once again and add salt or pepper to your liking. Reduce the heat further and serve your salad and wine.
Step 17:
Remove the soup from the heat and ladle it into bowls. Add parsley as a garnish. Additionally, I decided to serve this with Canape and Gruy cheese, but you can use baguette or Italian bread if you wish.
