Tomatoes are incredibly versatile and can be used in a myriad of dishes. Today, we’re sharing a quick and handy tip on how to peel tomatoes in just 10 seconds.
There are several tricks to help you peel tomatoes quickly and easily.
When tomatoes are not peeled before cooking, some of the skins curl up and need to be fished out, affecting both the aesthetics and the dining experience. Thus, the first step to cooking with tomatoes is to peel them. As tomato skins are quite thin, blanching them can affect their flavor and nutrient content, while using a peeler tends to waste a lot of the flesh. A simple solution is to use a spoon. But how do you peel a tomato with a spoon? Let’s find out.
Get a smooth stainless steel spoon and a clean tomato. Use the spoon to scrape up and down the tomato a few times.
After scraping, make a cross-cut at the top of the tomato, and you’ll be able to easily peel off the skin. This entire process should take no more than 10 seconds. If your tomato is still a bit green, you might need to scrape it a few more times. This method not only preserves the sweetness of the tomato but also retains its nutrients, and it’s much easier than blanching.
Along with this handy tip, we’d also like to share a delicious tomato-based recipe. After peeling your tomatoes, take a bowl and whisk together three eggs for later use.
Cut zucchini into pieces and set them aside in a separate bowl.
Heat some oil in a pan, add in some chopped garlic and onions, and sauté until fragrant. Toss in your tomatoes and cook until they soften. Then, add the zucchini and eggs, stirring everything together. Turn off the heat once the zucchini is cooked to your liking.
And there you have it—a tasty tomato-based dish that’s full of flavor. This dish is sure to impress.
