Bald Tomatoes
8 servings
10 minutes
"No need for presents, make lots of bald ones," says Olga's friend, restaurateur Mitya Borisov, about these tomatoes before his birthday. Guests usually fight for the remaining sauce: Pavel Semenovich Lungin, for example, likes to wash down his last shot with it.

Place the tomatoes in a deep container and pour boiling water over them. After one and a half to two minutes, when the skin starts to crack, drain the boiling water and rinse the tomatoes with cold water. Peel them.
