Tremendous TOMATOES

TOMATO TIPS

Ripen and store tomatoes at room temperature – refrigeration can dull the flavour. Ripened tomatoes for cooking can be stored in the fridge, but bring to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.

CHOOSING

Buy firm and evenly coloured tomatoes, avoiding soft patches or discoloured skin. If stuffing, choose a large, well-rounded tomato. If adding to a salad, opt for a smaller variety, such as cherry tomato.

STORING

Tomatoes are best stored at room temperature, as this is when the sweetness is most prevalent. To lengthen shelf life, store in the refrigerator for two weeks. The best way to freeze tomatoes is to peel, seed, chop and pack the pulp into containers ready to use in a pasta sauce or Bolognese.
