The excellent preparation for tomato eating is by peeling the skin, particularly the cherry tomato as it has tough skin.
Enjoy the tomato from your garden fully, and this is what you could do other eating them fresh. Peel the skin of tomatoes and also discard the seed, you will have tomato concasse that you could use them for further cooking.
Tomato concasse is a tomato that has been peeled, seeded (seeds and skins removed), and chopped to specified dimensions (wikip)
Using Cherry Tomatoes.
Harvested from my garden a few cherry tomatoes to concasse for serving pasta.
The Fresh Cherry Tomato |
In hot boiling water, for one minute for easy peeling. |
Score each tomato before putting into hot water and drain to transfer to cold water. Peel the tomato immediately.
Use the tomato for the base of sauces, salads and for other garnishes.
The Process
I serve it for salads, add into pasta dishes, or chopped up to make tomato soup or tomato sauce. You could discard the seeds before using the tomato if you wish.
