Tomato Powder from Tomato Skins
Rather than discard leftover tomato skins (from, say, your recent batch of coulis), we like dehydrating them in the microwave for a quick and easy tangy-sweet powder that's great for…
Ingredients
- Skins from 8 medium peeled tomatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
Directions
- Line a microwave-safe plate with a double layer of paper towels. Spread as many tomato skins on top as will fit in a single, non-overlapping layer (about 1/4 of skins). Microwave on high for 4 minutes, then continue in 20 second intervals until the skins are papery, dry, and crumble if pinched. Repeat with remaining skins.
- Add skins, salt, and sugar to spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Grind until powdered. Store in an air-tight container.
