How
To Peel A Tomato
Paula read the recipe for Fresh Marinara Sauce (still in today's newsletter), and has a better way of peeling the tomatoes than I described: Loved your marinara recipe! Just a few months ago Gourmet had a great tip easier than the X-ing and blanching the tomato to peel it. They just showed how to use a basic veggie peeler (not the U-shaped peeler, but the old-fashioned one) to skin a tomato. I've done it, and it's really easy. You just basically scrape the skin off using the peeler, and it takes 30 seconds. And you're done. This little technique has changed my kitchen life! Revised 3/10/08 Copyright © 2008 Tom Fitzmorris.
