how to reduce Acid in Tomato Dishes
Tomatoes are a tasty and nutritious addition to many meals. However, when eaten in large amounts tomatoes can be high in acidity, which can sometimes be an irritant. Fortunately, there are several ways you can reduce the acidity of your tomato dishes.
Steps
- Remove the seeds and inner whitish membranes of the tomatoes. This will help reduce the acidity of your dish.
- Add sugar or honey to balance the flavor. You want to add just enough sweetness to offset the acidity of the tomatoes. Start off with a small amount and add more as needed.
- Balance the flavors with herbs. Adding a handful of herbs like basil, rosemary, or oregano can help mask the sharp acidity of the tomatoes.
- Saute the tomatoes with onions. Onions are a natural flavor enhancer, and the combination of onions and tomatoes may help reduce acidic flavor.
- Delay adding the tomatoes to your dish. Allow the other ingredients to cook first, to reduce the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Wait to add salt. Salting the tomatoes can make them more acidic. Wait until near the end of cooking time to add the salt if desired.
