Tips
To blanch tomatoes, cut a shallow X with a knife on the bottom of a tomato and place in a boiling pot of water. Boil for 1 minute or until the skin at the X starts to peel. Remove from the boiling water and place immediately into a bowl of ice water. When tomato is removed, the skin will peel away easily. *Piquillo peppers can be found in gourmet specialty stores and some grocery stores.
