Tomato macarons

My goal was to make macarons not only look like tomatoes but also taste like tomatoes. And I DID! Today I am sharing recipe of tomato ganache. I am opening another side of macarons: Savory macarons!

How to make tomato macarons
Make macarons shells. Please see my French meringue macarons shells recipe or Italian meringue macarons shells recipe for tips and tricks. For color I used red and green.
Make tomato ganache. In the small bowl mix the tomato sauce with the tomato paste. Warm up tomato mixture in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
Tip from Marina: use plastic bowl or cup to warm up tomato mixture.
Semi melt white chocolate in the microwave using 30 seconds intervals. Add warm tomato mixture into melted white chocolate in 3 parts, stirring after each addition with the help of rubber spatula. Start stirring in the center and then increase circles toward the sides of the bowl. After that, using hand blender, emulsify the ganache until smooth. Add unsalted butter and pich of salt, then emulsify again. Transfer the ganache into glass container. Cover it by gently pressing plastic wrap onto surface (to contact). Refrigerate tomato ganache for 6-8 hours (or overnight). Ganache will develop creamy consistency.
How to assemble macarons
When you are ready to assemble macarons, cut sun dried tomatoes into small pieces. Then transfer ganache into pipping bag with round tip. Pipe gentle amount of the ganache on one shell of the macaron. Add a few pieces of sun dried tomatoes and sandwich the macaron with another shell. These savory macarons could be served as appetizer for your event.
