TOMATO CONCASSE


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.

A lovely cherry tomato salad, simply adds olive oil /vegetable oil and fresh herbs.

The Ingredients that readily available in your pantry such as pasta, anchovies, olive oil and capers are essential to safe your busy day. Cooking pasta is quick and easy. In my pantry is always eggs, rice, and oil. Love cooking omelette on a working day.

A delicious meal and easy preparation.  

You can make lots of tomato concasse and place in a clean jar, refrigerated.   It could stay there for a few days.


The large tomatoes can be done the same, prepare tomato concasse, use and serve whatever you like. 



Today is Wednesday, it is midweek already everyone, have a pleasant day today.
