Today I’m back in the kitchen. Still missing my travels, I’ve found myself making dishes from around the world. And when I was sent a lovely Professional Serrated Peeler from Microplane, I knew I had to make some pan con tomate, one of my absolute favourite dishes I’ve eaten all over Spain.
This ultra-sharp stainless steel peer has a serrated double blade which means it easily peels soft skinned fruits and vegetables. So just perfect for peeling tomatoes. Simply slide over and the skin comes off smoothly and doesn’t take off any flesh either. You’re left with a perfect unpeeled tomato ready for chopping.
The recipe
Makes enough for brunch or a starter for two.
3 medium tomatoes
1 clove of garlic
1 tbsp chopped parsley
A slug of olive oil
Salt to taste
The process
Peel the tomatoes with the Microplane Professional Serrated Peeler. Chop them up small and place in a bowl.
Peel and crush the garlic and add to the tomatoes.
Chop the parsley and mix through.
Finish with a slug of olive oil.
Add salt to taste
Lightly toast some ciabata or slices of baguette. Top with the tomato mix and drizzle with oil olive before serving.
The facts
Slightly heavier than a traditional peeler, the new Microplane Professional Serrated Peeler has an ultra-sharp, curved, stainless-steel serrated double blade which slides perfectly over the surface, cleanly removing the skin. The peeler felt so comfortable in my hand. It’s ideal for peeling soft-skinned fruit like kiwis, mangoes, peaches and papayas as well as peppers and tomatoes.
The New Microplane Professional Serrated Peeler sells for £19.95 from hartsofstur.com
