INSPIRATION Special programme: when dehydrated in the BORA X BO, the tomatoes lose a lot of water and develop a more intense flavour. It’s all Dry, dehydrate & grill One way to prepare tomatoes is to subject them to direct heat in order to dry, dehydrate or grill them. These methods not only intensify the flavour but also naturally extend the tomatoes’ shelf life. Dehydration works best with firm-fleshed Roma or San Marzano varieties. These are chopped in half and placed cut-side-up on a baking tray. They are dried in the oven for several hours at 50 to 70°C – the BORA X BO offers a special programme for this. During this process, the tomatoes lose a great deal of water, their sweetness intensifies and their flavour becomes more concentrated. Tomatoes can also be dried in the fresh air at 30 to 50°C. Both methods result in flavoursome tomatoes with a long shelf life that are ideal for pasta, salads or as a snack, e.g. marinated in olive oil. Grilling is another great way of getting the full flavour out of tomatoes. Cooking them on a high heat under the grill or in a frying pan brings out beautiful flavours with smoky undertones. Tip: the BORA Fry function enables food to be fried at a specific temperature. Tomatoes also become softer and more flavoursome – perfect as a topping for bowls or burgers. about tomato Originally from South America, the tomato now grows all over the world in the widest array of shapes and colours. There’s hardly a fruit more versatile – or that can add so much to our dishes. Whether enjoyed raw in a salad, used as a base for sauces or dried to intensify flavour, it’s impossible to imagine a kitchen without tomatoes. With their colours, flavour and high content of antioxidants, vitamins and water, they are packed with nutrients and wonderfully healthy. They can also be used in a multitude of ways. This makes them a perfect example when showing how we use our innovative BORA products and creative recipe ideas to simplify cooking and get the best out of food. The special programmes on the BORA X BO and the Fry function from the new BORA Pure range are particularly practical options when preparing meals. Pre-cooked foods and even entire dishes stay fresher and keep for longer with the help of the BORA QVac vacuum sealer. Temperature-specific frying: the BORA Assist Fry function automatically regulates the desired target temperature. 10 BORA MAGAZINE BORA MAGAZINE 11
