Peeling tomatoes is not that easy. Unless you try this method—then the tomato skin will almost come off by itself!
Simply peel tomatoes in 4 steps
Tomatoes are among the most popular vegetables. They are delicious raw, but also cooked in a delicious tomato sauce or soup. To make them particularly velvety, many recipes recommend peeling the tomatoes. It works like this:
1. Score the tomato
Take a sharp kitchen knife and score the bottom of the tomato with a cross. This will make it easier to peel later. Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a saucepan. There should be enough water to completely submerge the tomato.
Tip: You can then use the water for the pasta.
2. Blanch the tomato
Add the tomato to the pot of boiling water and let it blanch for about 30 seconds. Then lift them out of the pot with a slotted spoon.
3. Deter the tomato
Immediately place the tomato in a bowl of cold water. You will notice that the skin of the tomato is already starting to peel off.
4. Peel the tomato
Now you can peel the tomato. To do this, take them out of the water, let them drain a little, and use a small knife to peel off the skin from where you cut them.
For example, you can use the peeled tomatoes to prepare a delicious tomato sauce. To do this, sauté a piece of onion and garlic in olive oil, add the tomatoes and herbs of your choice and let the sauce simmer. Season with salt and pepper and possibly a little sugar. If you fill the hot sauce into clean jars or bottles and seal them tightly, the tomato sauce will keep for several months.
