Critical Success Points

  • Blanch the tomatoes exactly 1 minute to ease peeling without cooking them.
  • Season the tomato flesh before assembling to prevent it from releasing too much water.
  • Let it chill for at least 2 hours so the layers set.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful of boiling water splashes when blanching the tomatoes.
  • Use the knife carefully when cutting the tomatoes.
