Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Dice the tomatoes very fine by hand and place them in a colander to drain for 1 hour. Transfer to a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Gently mix the olives, shallot, chives and tarragon in with the drained tomatoes. Beat the mustard and vinegar together. Beat in the hazelnut oil and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Fold in. Season with salt and pepper. Chill at least 30 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush the baguette slices with the remaining olive oil and dust with the dry herbs. Bake the slices for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned.

  4. Step 4

    Serve the tomato tartare with the baguette slices as a first course.
