Juiced Garlmato drink
Yes, we just made that name up 😄 There is no such dish — but with what you have, this is exactly what there will be.
This wants to be a bowl: fruit over something cold and dairy. No heat, only order and temperature.
Because you are making a drink, only the cooking and cutting that suit it are offered.
Not cooked at all. The work is in the cutting and in keeping it cold. The pulp stays behind: the fibre goes, the sugar and the acid stay, and the consistency is a different thing entirely.
This is weight, not nutrition. Olive oil can be a tenth of the weight and most of the calories.
You gave no amounts; these are a sensible household measure for each. Change the ratio and you change the dish.
Salt, pepper, water and oil are assumed to be in every kitchen; we never count them as missing.
Generated once and kept against this exact combination of ingredients, cooking and cut, so everybody who picks the same things sees the same one. It is not a photograph of this dish: nobody has cooked it.
In a bowl, thin enough to pour off a spoon and the colour of what went in, unbrowned.
- Water
- 100% The first thing that decides the consistency.
- Fat
- 0% Gives the shine and the coating it leaves.
- Heat
- none Nothing is cooked: both the colour and the texture come straight from the ingredients.
The figures above are the engine’s reading: the colour comes from the measured colour of what went in and how far browning ran, the consistency from the water fraction, the shine from the fat. The image is generated from those same numbers.
There is no heat in this one: the colour and the texture come straight from the ingredients.

How to make it
-
Wash and dry the tomato. A wet surface holds neither oil nor salt, and the water ends up in the bottom of the bowl.

Water
Why Olive oil does not mix with water: on a wet leaf it slides off in beads, on a dry one it becomes a thin film. That film is where the taste of a salad comes from. -
-
Cut it large. Every extra cut is another cut surface, and every cut surface leaks its juice onto the plate.
Why A cell wall gives up its water where it was cut. Cut the same weight twice as fine and you double the exposed surface, and the water you lose with it. -
Slice the garlic thinly, leave it in salted water for five minutes and rinse. Most of the raw bite stays in that water.

Why The sulphur compounds behind the bite dissolve in water. Soaking pulls them out and leaves the aroma behind. -
-
Serve it ten minutes out of the fridge. At 4 °C most of the aroma never reaches the air, so it does not taste cold, it tastes of nothing.
Why Volatile aroma reaches the nose by evaporating, and evaporation depends on temperature. The same dish smells less when it is cold, and what smells less tastes less.
What it is like
Nobody has eaten this and there is no photograph of it. All we have is the taste vectors of what went in, through the same model every written recipe uses.
This profile is computed rather than measured: the role-weighted average of its ingredients’ taste vectors, shifted by what the cooking does. The thin line is the database average on that axis.
