The term parboil means to "partially boil" a food. This is a type of pre-cooking. I usually parboil tomatoes to remove the skins for salsa. To parboil, drop the food into the boiling water for one minute or more then remove.Get a large pot of water boiling. Take a small pairing knife and remove the stem end and make a light x on the blossom end of the tomatoes. Have a bowl of ice water ready. Place the tomatoes on the boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove and place in ice water. Use the paring knife to remove the skins, they are now ready for whatever you need them for.
