Preparing tomatoes

Here are simple steps to prepare tomatoes:
Rinse the tomatoes under cool running water. Cut out the green stem.
You may want to peel the tomatoes: score an “X” at the bottom of each tomato and blanch them in boiling water for 15-30 seconds. Then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool down. The skins should easily peel off.
Depending on the recipe, you can cut the tomatoes into wedges, slices, or dice them.
If you prefer seedless tomatoes, slice the tomatoes in half horizontally and scoop out the seeds and pulp with a spoon.
