Cut the beefsteak tomatoes in half, then squeeze them gently to remove the seeds. Place each tomato half in your hand, (skin facing towards your hand), and grate it on the large holes of the grater. You're left with tomato paste, just remove the skin.

Step 2

In a large bowl combine both tomato kinds with all of the other ingredients, taste, adjust the seasoning if needed (salt, pepper, cumin).

Step 3

Remove half the quantity aside, and use an electric mixer, beat several times until you obtain a somewhat thick mass or the desired smoothness, then return the remaining half to the bowl and mix.

Step 4

Put in a sealed no reactive container & marinate in the fridge for minimum 2 hours, or even better for overnight.

Step 5

Serve chilled, garnish with your preferred chopped fresh herbs, with a drizzle of olive oil.
