Tomatoes Peeling

A simple and quick way to perfectly peel tomatoes. Peeling tomatoes is a great technique for recipes where the peel texture may not be desired, such as pickles, soups, and sauces. Even though cherry tomatoes were used here, this technique can be used with regular-sized tomatoes—just make sure to blanch them a little bit longer.

Fill a medium pot halfway with water and bring to a boil over medium heat

Prepare an ice bath in a bowl

Make a small and shallow x on the top of <quantity>16</quantity> mixed cherry tomatoes. Add them to the water and cook for 45s, until the peel starts to come off, but the tomatoes are still firm

Immediately transfer the tomatoes to the ice bath and let them sit for 1m to stop cooking

Remove the peel with your hands. The peeled tomatoes are ready

Use them to substitute canned peeled tomatoes.
