Stages of cooking
-
Take a large pot and fill it with water. Bring the water to a boil. Take a knife and make long cuts on the tomatoes.
-
As soon as the water starts boiling, put the tomatoes into the pot and blanch them for about 40-50 seconds. Then take them away from the pot using a slotted spoon and put them into the icy water you should prepare in advance. Peel off the skins and cut the tomatoes into halves. Squeeze the juice and seeds from them and chop the tomatoes afterwards. Don’t get rid of the water you used for blanching.
