Hi, my name is Chelsie Kenyon, your Guide to Mexican food. Today I'm going to show you how to seed and dice a tomato into perfect cubes.Seed the Tomato
So first what you're going to do is cut the flesh off of the tomato in kind of a "c" shape, leaving the seed ball in the center. Make sure to use a sharp, serrated knife. Discard the seed ball and be sure to remove any additional seeds from the tomato "petals."If you have any seeds that are left on the tomato, you can just push those out.
Dice the Tomato
When you're ready, place a piece of tomato in the center and slice lengthwise to make strips. Then you're going to take those strips, turn them, and cut them again to make cubes. Repeat with each tomato "petal." Place finished tomato aside until ready to use.Thank you for watching. To learn more about Mexican food, visit us on the Web at mexicanfood.about.com.
