Making
a tomato concassé - concassé (con-cass-eh) means to
roughly chop
Remove
the core from the tomato, score an X in the skin and
place into boiling water for 10 seconds, remove from
the water and place under cold running water.
The
peel should now just slip off; if it does not pop
back in the boiling water for a few more seconds
Cut
in half and remove the pips and rinse out and roughly
chop
Gently
cook the finely chopped shallots and the tomatoes

required
