    Title: Tomato-Basil Concasse
    Categories: Five, Vegetables, Herbs, Condiments
    Yield: 6 Appetiser

    8 Ripe Italian plum tomatoes;
    - skinned, diced
    1 bn Fresh basil leaves, julienne
    1 tb Quality EVOO
    3 cl Garlic; minced
    Salt & white pepper

    Accompaniment: Crostini or garlic bread rounds

    To peel the tomatoes: first use your paring knife to cut out
    the stem. Then slice a shallow X in the bottom (blossom)
    end. Using a slotted spoon, plunge the tomato into boiling
    water for a few seconds, then plunge it into a bowl of iced
    water. This will stop the tomato from cooking and further
    loosen the skin. Remove the cooled tomato and peel away the
    skin. This same technique can be used for ripe peaches.

    Combine the tomatoes, basil, olive oil, garlic and salt and
    pepper. Set aside for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors
    to blend. Spoon atop crostini and serve.
