Step by Step guide

Step 1

Score the tomatoes with an X and immerse them in boiling water for 30 seconds. Then place them in ice-cold water. Peel the skin and dice them using the concasse method (without seeds). Place in a sieve and let drain.

Step 2

Finely chop the green onion and parsley. Grate the onion and let it drain in a sieve as well.

Step 3

Mix everything together, add the egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, tomato paste, sugar, and salt. Mix again and let it rest in the refrigerator for 3–4 hours.
