How to Blanch Tomatoes for easy peeling
An easy way to blanch and peel tomatoes and make your favorite recipes quickly.
Ingredients
- 4 tomatoes medium to large
- water
Instructions
- Spray the tomatoes with vinegar and then rinse to get rid of impurities and pesticides. Place them in a bowl.
- Use a paring knife or sharp knife to score an X on the bottom of each tomato. Do not cut the tomato too deep - just enough to pierce the skin. Make the X not too deep into the flesh. Place them back into the bowl until the next set.
- Bring a pot filled with water, enough to submerge the tomato.
- With a slotted spoon, carefully place the tomato inside the pan with boiling water. Let it sit for 30 seconds or longer but not more than 1 minute.
- With the slotted spoon or regular spoon (wooden or metal), remove the tomato from the boiling water and immediately plunge into ice-cold water to prevent it from cooking longer.
- Where the x is located, the skin should have started to peel off. Peel off the skin, and you may also use the knife to remove the skin gently.
- Use in your favorite recipes and when a recipe calls for it.
