is to slice them crosswise, squeeze out all the seeds, and then grate the flesh into your pan. The skin tends to stay behind as the flesh goes through the holes. It's so much easier than blanching and peeling.It's super fast and easy.

This is if you've got a garden and have real tomatoes instead of those pink, tasteless golf balls in the supermarket. The only alternative to those things is canned tomatoes, which are almost as good as fresh since they're decent varieties, picked ripe.
