How to Make a Tomato Rose:
- With a knife starting at the bottom of tomato, begin to peel skin in a spiral motion until entire tomato is peeled. This leaves you with one long strip of tomato skin.
- Take bottom end and begin to roll peel tightly in a clockwise motion. Allow end to cover top, then flip upside down.
