Remarks

As you will have gathered, you need a suitable flame source: a gas hob burner or torch in the kitchen, or a barbecue (good if you are outdoors in summer, preparing one of these delicious salads.
This method has many advantages: it is quicker of course, but the flavour is also better, as none of the tomatoes' delicate flavour is lost by soaking in water.
