Method

1. Seed and core tomatoes and finely dice.

2. Add finely chopped chives, salt and balsamic vinegar to tomatoes and stir gently.

3. Finely chop buffalo mozzarella.

Plating

1. Place a ring on a serving plate in the desired location and add ¼ of the tomato mix into the ring, using a tamper to gently guide the tomato evenly over the bottom.

2. Take ¼ of the diced mozzarella and place inside the ring and gently press using a tamper to fill the ring, especially around the edges.

3. Repeat this process with the tomato mix.

4. Keep the tamper inside the ring and gently remove the ring with one hand while holding the tamper with the other in one movement.

5. Repeat with the remaining plates.

6. Drizzle olive oil around the plates and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
