Skin all cherry tomatoes and store on kitchen paper. Remove the seed from the Coeur de boeuf tomato. Place the remaining pulp of the Coeur de boeuf tomato in a drying device until they are nicely dried. Cut the green tomato into wedges. Cut the Brandywine tomato into wedges. Cut the dried tomato into a tartare. Season the tartare with all the capers and some of the olive oil, vinegar, salt and gravy.

Tomato sorbet:

Wash the tomatoes and remove the crown. Cook the tomatoes over low heat under a lid for 15 min. Cook the tomatoes without a lid for 10 minutes. Puree the tomatoes with a hand blender and rub through a fine sieve. Mix the tomatoes with the other ingredients. Turn the mass into a sorbet.

Meringue:

Mix all ingredients, except the sugar and furikake, with a hand blender. Let the mass rest chilled for 12 hours. Beat the mass with the sugar until firm peaks form.
