tomato concasse

 Tomato concasse is a cooking technique used to peel, seed, and dice tomatoes. Here's a recipe you can use to make tomato concasse:

Ingredients:

• Fresh, ripe tomatoes

• Boiling water

• Ice water

Instructions:

1. Start by washing your tomatoes under cool running water.

2. Cut an "X" in the bottom of each tomato with a sharp knife.

3. Bring a pot of water to a boil.

4. Using a slotted spoon, carefully place the tomatoes in the boiling water. Let them cook for 15-30 seconds, or until the skin starts to peel away from the flesh of the tomato.

5. Using the slotted spoon, remove the tomatoes from the boiling water and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water. This will stop the cooking process and make the tomatoes easier to handle.

6. Once the tomatoes have cooled down, use your hands to peel off the skin.

7. Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and pulp from the center.

8. Cut the tomato flesh into small, even-sized dice. This is your tomato concasse.

9. You can use the tomato concasse immediately in your recipe or store it in the refrigerator for later use.

Enjoy your delicious tomato concasse! It's a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide variety of dishes, from pasta sauces to salads to soups.
