Instructions
- Place the mascarpone, wasabi, chives, tarragon, and green onion in a bowl with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Mix well and keep in the fridge until ready to use.
- Place the shallots in a separate bowl with the sherry vinegar, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and keep in the fridge until ready to use.
- To serve, divide the mascarpone among six plates and spread it out to form a thin layer. Place the tomatoes on top, followed by the pickled shallots. Sprinkle with the pine nuts, then scatter over the basil leaves, tearing the larger ones as you go. Season with a scant 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a good grind of black pepper and serve.
You can prepare all the elements for this in advance—the wasabi and herb-filled mascarpone, the pickled shallots, the chopped tomatoes, the toasted nuts. Just keep them separate and put the dish together just before serving.
