Marcus Wareing shares how to store tomatoes for best flavour<\/h3>\n

Masterchef judge Marcus Wareing has revealed exactly how to store tomatoes at home to get the best flavour.<\/p>\n

The presenter of the BBC show, “Tales from a Kitchen Garden”, may be known for growing his own fruits and vegetables in his East Sussex small-holding, but he claimed that storage is essential for every kind of fresh ingredient – whether it’s shop bought or not.<\/p>\n

Speaking on BBC This Morning Live, the Michelin-starred chef suggested buying under-ripe fruits in-store and improving them at home.<\/p>\n

He said: “I always think that the best thing to do is buy irregular tomatoes.<\/p>\n

“We see so many perfect tomatoes in supermarkets and they’re not the best, they’re ripened in fridges.”<\/p>\n

Marcus continued: “I think the best way to get the flavour is to get them out of the fridge, get them out of the packets, into a bowl, onto a window ledge and let the sunshine on to them wherever possible.”<\/p>\n

The chef claimed that swapping a cold environment for room temperature also “brings out their natural flavour” and “enhances the sweetness of the tomato” – which is, after all, what they’re most loved for.<\/p>\n

He said: “So, don’t put them in the fridge, leave them out and eat them when they’re at room temperature because you get a much better flavour.”<\/p>\n

It’s not just how they’re stored that impacts the flavour of fresh tomatoes either. Marcus suggested that plenty of seasoning, specifically salt and pepper, is a non-negotiable when serving the juicy red fruits.<\/p>\n

He explained: “The key with cookery and eating is, you’ve got a basic ingredient that’s grown for us to consume, pretty much like a chef, our job is to enhance the natural flavour of that ingredient.<\/p>\n

“And salt, pepper, vinegar, spices, they bring out the flavour and enhance them, so you can always do a little bit more than leave them out in a bowl.”<\/p>\n

The chef noted that basil is “always a winner with tomatoes”, and “lots of” salt and pepper is always a good addition.<\/p>\n

After doing a taste test comparing refrigerated fruits to the room temperature tomatoes, BBC Morning Live presenter Gethin Jones claimed that “there was a clear difference” in how they tasted.<\/p>\n

According to Marcus, one of the best ways to enjoy the red ingredient is in a simple sandwich made with lightly toasted bread, sliced tomatoes, a bit of chutney, mayonnaise and some salad leaves to stop the bread from going soggy.<\/p>\n
