Hot Tips

Peeling and de-seeding tomatoes

To peel and de-seed a tomato, score a small cross in the base of the tomato with your knife; plunge in boiling water for 1 minute, refresh under cold water (running water seems to make peeling easier too); cut in half and scoop out seeds with a dessert spoon.

Glossary

Nigella Seeds

Nigella seeds (corek otu) are small black seeds used in Turkish cooking, also known as black cumin. Sprinkled over bread before baking.
