Colour of the tomato
If your Coeur de Boeuf is orange, it’s fresh and crunchy—ideal for cold dishes.
If it’s red, it’s best used in warm recipes.
Tomato and mozzarella or prawn-stuffed tomato
Thanks to its firm texture, this tomato is ideal for a tomato and mozzarella dish. Its attractive, large shape also makes it perfect for a beautiful prawn-stuffed tomato.
Cutting Coeur de Boeuf into flower-shaped slices
Slice the tomato horizontally, across the crown. This beautifully reveals its distinctive flower-shaped structure inside. The tomato slices are ideal for a delicious tomato carpaccio. Use a sharp serrated knife to avoid crushing the flesh.
