Abel très jolie idée... mais en 5 minutes (cf. recette) ?
HERBET Abel May 18, 2017:
Tomates craquantes because grillees ... Could do
HERBET Abel May 18, 2017:
Tomatoes grillees translator's choice
'cloquees' make a bit like sick tomatoes
Tony M May 18, 2017:
@ Asker I think 'grillées' is probably not such a bad idea... they would certainly start to burn and blister before anything else, which would no doubt give people the idea. Perhaps 'tomates grillées (à faire des cloques)'???
TB CommuniCAT (asker) May 18, 2017:
paraphrasing tomates cuites jusqu'à ce que la peau gonfle/pêle? It seems quite long for a recipe/item on the menu
writeaway May 18, 2017:
Bosch wants to sell its appliances This is a Canadian text and I'd take that recipe with a grain of salt... It seems to be a bit of a one-off.
TB CommuniCAT (asker) May 18, 2017:
@ W/A The French site of Bosch says tomates grillées. Any thoughts?

writeaway May 18, 2017:
Frying pan is the UK equivalent. But I thought we needed French here.......
TB CommuniCAT (asker) May 18, 2017:
@ All and how about tomates fendues? or if we add the word "légèrement" to it. For example, légèrement fendillée or légèrement fendue?
Tony M May 18, 2017:
Skillet OK, looks like all US sources then, which could explain the origins of this technique. In which case, perhaps paraphrasing will be necessary...
Chopkins May 18, 2017:
@Tony, the 3 recipes that I looked up only mention skillet. I'm back to work but we'll check in later.
Tony M May 18, 2017:
@ W/A OK, so they don't mention ovens — but a contrario, do they all without exception specifically mention 'skillets'?
Tony M May 18, 2017:
@ Asker Not really, I don't think — the tomatoes will reach the 'blistering stage' some time before they actually 'split', byt which time they are almost certainly over-cooked!
writeaway May 18, 2017:
@Tony I am basing that on all the recipes a looked at. None of them say a word about ovens
TB CommuniCAT (asker) May 18, 2017:
@ All Thank you for your suggestions. I am wondering if tomates fendillées would work in this context.
Tony M May 18, 2017:
@ W/A It isn't possible to say categorically that "tomatoes are cooked in a skillet" — the source text makes no mention of this, and we know that it is only one of the possibilities.

In fact, we now know that for this specific recipe, they do indeed suggest using the oven, as I would have expected in the first place.
writeaway May 18, 2017:
Yes, logical but tomatoes are cooked in a skillet, not in the oven. so some additional Fr wording/word is needed with rôti to indicate it's not about oven roasting and that's it's a very quick process
Tony M May 18, 2017:
@ W/A Yes, but that's only a detail, to do with the different structure of the vegetables — peppers need longer, as their skins are quite firmly attached, whereas cherry tomatoes are much more fragile and start to 'pop' very quickly indeed; if left too long, they will be in danger of bursting.
writeaway May 18, 2017:
The tomatoes are only in the skillet (cooked in olive oil etc.) until the skin starts to blister. So much shorter time than sweet peppers that are roasted in the oven. At least that's what i gather from the recipes I saw
HERBET Abel May 18, 2017:
Sq. ....but 'blistered' is covered with a blister ??? Funny cooking and presentation????
HERBET Abel May 18, 2017:
Peeled is c.a 'unblistered' but 'blistere
HERBET Abel May 18, 2017:
Then it seems to me that 'passed in the oven' is large enough for suiting the context
Chopkins May 18, 2017:
@ Tony

I'm fine with your logic!
Tony M May 18, 2017:
@ Abel That is indeed true; BUT I feel certain the writer would simply have said 'peeled' (or one of the other more technically specific terms used in cooking) had that been what they meant; the specific use of the fairly unusual term 'blistered' certianly seems to suggest they were indicating a specific type of technique.
Tony M May 18, 2017:
@ CH I don't think it is possible to define a specific time for 'roasting', and with the kind of latitude used in cooking, we can safely assume in needn't automatically be in the overn either; nor in fact does the source text preclude this possibility.
HERBET Abel May 18, 2017:
When you want to skin off easily tomatoes or green pepper passing them in the oven creates bubbles between the skin and the flesh
I wonder if here it could not mean 'peeled' 'pelées'
Chopkins May 18, 2017:
Yes, but both suggestions "tomates rôties" and "passées au four (cloquees)" refer to the process of placing them in the oven. Roties is at least 45 minutes. This is simply the process of "saisi" and keeping intact the tomatoes.
Tony M May 18, 2017:
@ BDF Yes, that's exactly how I understand it too — we often do something like this with e.g. sweet peppers too, in that instance, often to make it easier to remove the skins.
Chopkins May 18, 2017:
I think you're onto something...
B D Finch May 18, 2017:
Blistered I think the meaning of "blistered" in the context of cooking tomatoes, is cooking quickly with oil at a medium-high temperature, so that the skin is blistered (and slightly charred?), while the inside is only lightly cooked.

tomates confites

une suggestion...
Peer comment(s):
disagree Tony M : No, that's quite a different concept, where they have been partially dried out by heating slowly, so they may be wrinkly, but not specifically 'blistered' in the way that is meant here.
1 hr
ok...je pensais plutôt des oignons confits comme avec un bon rosbif cuit au four. Mais, la BD Finch a peut-être la meilleure piste (tomates saisies à la poêle et pas forcément au four).
disagree HERBET Abel : Pas du tout

neutral writeaway : none of recipes I saw mentions an oven. they are cooked in a skillet until they start to blister. Imo rôti indicates a longer cooking time in any case
