Preparation: 30 minutes + 4 hours chilling
  1. Peel the tomatoes. Chop the dill. Mash the fresh goat cheese with a fork, then blend with Meaux mustard, dill, salt, freshly ground pepper, a pinch of Espelette pepper, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  2. Lightly oil a terrine or galantine mold.
  3. Slice the peeled tomatoes thinly and lay on a cloth to dry slightly.
  4. Assemble in the mold: layer red tomatoes, cover with cheese mixture, press gently with a spoon. Repeat with green tomatoes, cheese, then yellow tomatoes, ending with a tomato layer. Use all ingredients.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or 2 hours for verrines).
  6. For the emulsion: deseed the unpeeled cucumber, blend smooth, and emulsify with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  7. To serve: unmold and slice the terrine. Arrange with dots of tomato coulis; serve extra in a sauce boat. Garnish with bay leaf, rosemary, flat-leaf parsley, and thyme sprigs.

Follow the same process for individual verrine presentations.
