Cook safely

  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Plunge the tomatoes, placed in a wire basket, into a kettle of hot water;
  2. remove at once and rub off the skin;
  3. chill thoroughly and cut in halves.
  4. Serve on lettuce leaves with a star of cream dressing, seasoned with grated horseradish, on the top of each slice.
