This recipe needs advance preparation!
A rather fancy cold starter and possibly a way to use up those cucumbers you have been growing.
It's a simple recipe but don't forget to allow 3 hours preparation time.
Do read the Chef's notes before making this!

- Half a cucumber, peeled and deseeded (if you wish) and coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons of full cream milk

- Rinse thoroughly under cold running water and allow to drain or pat try with a paper towel
- Add the ricotta, cucumbers, mint leaves and the milk to a food processor with a metal blade and blitz to a purée
- In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks
- Fold the egg-whites into the cucumber purée and fill the tomatoes with this mixture
- Sprinkle with the chopped chives and replace the tomato tops
- Chill for at least 2 hours

Chef's notes
I'll leave this recipe up for the benefit of others, however I must say this is by far the most disappointing recipe I have ever made!
