tomato:Trendy ingredient
There are hundreds of tomato varieties. From marble-sized grape or cherry tomatoes, to juicy salad tomatoes, meaty paste tomatoes, and huge, sweet, beefsteak tomatoes. Their colors range from deep crimson to orange, yellow, green, purple, and chocolate.
Kitchen math:
1 lb. fresh whole tomatoes yields about 1 1/2 cups chopped
How to choose:
Choose those with intact skins and no bruises, that are firm but yielding under gentle pressure, and with a deep color (though not necessarily red as it comes in all colors). Different varieties are better than others in certain preparations. Plums, for example, with their relatively low water content, makes great sauce while cherry tomatoes are great for quick sautes and for using raw in salad.
How to prep:
Different recipes call for different preparations though stems are almost always removed. To remove the core, use a sharp paring knife (a serrated knife works best) to carve a V-shape around it. If your recipe calls for peeling the tomatoes, cut an X in the skin, boil them for a few seconds and then blanch them in ice water; this will loosen the skin and make peeling them much easier. If your recipe calls for removing the seeds, hold a halved tomato over a bowl, squeeze it gently, and work out the seeds with your fingers.
How to store: Leave tomatoes at room temperature until you are ready to use them. Refrigeration causes loss of flavor and a mealy texture.
