A Word About Tomato
The chance of finding well-textured, sweet, juicy tomatoes are best in the late summer and early fall. Tomatoes should always be kept at room temperature; don't refrigerate them. When you are working with a less than ideal tomato, a pleasant way to use it in a salad is to dice it, then season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a splash of balsamic vinger.
When good large tomatoes are unavailable, look for cherry tomatoes ro Italian Roma or plum tomatoes. They can provide color and texture, though not much flavor. Diced or sliced red pepper offers an acceptable color substitute.
When you want to peel a tomato, cut an X at its base. Plunge it into boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove and plunge immediately in an ice bath. Let the tomato cool for 1 minute, then peel the skin, using a paring knife if necessary. Cut out the stem and proceed with any recipe.

Post a CommentI'm anxiously awaiting my first fresh garden tomato of the season! It will be a while as I just put the plants in place!
I'm eating tomatoes like crazy right now and enjoying every bite. Ha. A kind neighbor gave us 2 baskets full- yummy!
Good info. We have a pascal from our garden. I simply wash, core them and freeze them. When I'm ready to use, I run them under warm water and the skin falls off. I'm glad your wrote this because I didn't know how to skin them unfrozen.
