How To Make Tomato Coulis

A basic tomato puree that can be used in a multitude of dishes. The choice of tomatoes is the main contributor to the final product. Look for ripe large cherry tomatoes on the vine to get the best results.

The process:

Remove the skin from tomatoes; cut a small cross on the base of each one then plunge them into boiling water for 10 to 20 seconds (depending on how ripe they are). Remove them and immerse into iced water to stop them cooking further. They should now be very easy to peel.

Slice each tomato in half and scoop out and discard the seeds.

Place in a saucepan and sprinkle with a little salt. Leave to stand for about half an hour to draw out some of the water.

Bring to the boil and simmer for about 1 hour with the lid on. Alternatively, transfer into a pressure cooker and cook for 15 minutes.
