Step-by-Step Recipe

Step 1: Wash the Tomatoes

Gently rinse the tomatoes under cool water. Do not scrub aggressively. Tomatoes are delicate when ripe, and their skin can bruise easily.

Pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towel.

Step 2: Core the Tomato

Using a small paring knife, remove the green stem area at the top of the tomato. This part is often bitter and unpleasant in texture.

Insert the tip of the knife slightly and cut in a circular motion around the core. Remove it cleanly.

Step 3: Slice the Tomato

Now comes the most important physical step.

Place the tomato on its side and slice it into even rounds, about 0.5 to 1 cm thick.

The goal is balance:

• Too thin → the slices lose structure and become watery
• Too thick → the seasoning does not distribute evenly

As you slice, you may notice juices escaping. That is a good sign. It means the tomato is ripe and ready.
