Tomato Wedges (Peeled)

Ingredients

• 1 ripe tomato

Method

1. 01

   Score a small X on the bottom of a ripe tomato with a knife.

2. 02

   Place tomato in boiling water for 30–60 seconds until the skin starts to peel away.

3. 03

   Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water for 1 minute.

4. 04

   Peel off the skin completely, then cut the tomato into wedges.

5. 05

   Remove seeds if desired and serve at room temperature.

How to offer

Place 2–3 peeled tomato wedges on the high chair tray. Peeling removes the tough skin that can cause gagging. Supervise closely — tomatoes are soft but slippery.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
