Questions about Yellow tomatoes
How do you choose ripe yellow tomatoes?
Choose tomatoes that feel heavy for their size, have taut skin and give slightly when pressed near the stem. A ripe one should smell pleasantly tomato-like at the stem end; avoid soft, leaking or mouldy fruit.
Should yellow tomatoes go in the fridge?
Keep whole, unripe yellow tomatoes at room temperature, out of direct sun, until they soften and smell ripe. Once cut, cover and refrigerate them, then use within a few days.
How do you roast yellow tomatoes?
Halve them, arrange cut-side up with a little olive oil, salt and herbs, then roast at 200 °C for about 25–35 minutes, until soft and lightly browned. Roasting concentrates their flavour and makes them easy to stir into pasta or blend into sauce.
What can you make with yellow tomatoes?
Use them raw in a tomato salad or salsa, or cook them into a golden tomato sauce for pasta. They also work well in gazpacho, especially with cucumber, peppers and a splash of vinegar.
What goes well with yellow tomatoes?
Pair their gentle, sweet-tart flavour with basil, parsley, garlic, olive oil, feta or fresh mozzarella. For a simple salad, add sliced red onion and a little vinegar to balance the tomatoes’ sweetness.
Can you use yellow tomatoes instead of red tomatoes?
Yes: use them in the same quantity in salads, sauces and soups. The dish will look golden rather than red, and the flavour is often milder, so taste the finished dish before adding more vinegar or other sharp ingredients.
Are yellow tomatoes a different kind of tomato?
They are varieties of the same tomato species as red tomatoes, bred or selected for yellow fruit. Their colour comes from different proportions of natural pigments, and their flavour varies between varieties.
