Hola! I'm Daisy Martinez for eHow.com. Today, I'm going to give you a useful little tip on how to clean tomatoes. Sometimes you chop a tomato and get all that water content in the tomato and the seeds and the goop and "ah"; who needs it. I'm going to give you a quick and easy tip how to get your tomato just, just the meat from your tomato for any dish you're going to make whether it's a salad, a pico de gallo, anything like that. You saw me use a small paring knife, you plunge the tip in at a slight angle and just go around and you take that knob right out. Okay? You slice your tomato in half, the long way and now you left with two halves of tomato. Use a tablespoon just to scoop the whole thing out. Now, you have no water, you have no seeds and you have no goop and we will be able to chop that tomato up for our salsas or whatever else you might, you might need. Look how beautiful these gorgeous little shells. Ain't that cool? Easy peasy, lemon squeezy; haha. And I'm Daisy Martinez for eHow.com.
