Cooking Tip: If you don't have a food processor or blender, try to dice the vegetables as finely as possible. Then mix and mash them with a potato masher for about 2 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Cooking Tip: To peel tomatoes, place the fruit on a microwaveable plate and microwave on 100% power (high) for 30 seconds. Let stand for 2 minutes. The skin will be looser and easier to remove after microwaving.
