Instructions
1. Select bright red tomatoes without any bruises and wash them.
2. Slice the tomato through the stem end to obtain two halves.
3. From each of the halves, cut a wedge shaped slice about one cm. wide at the broad end.
4. Carefully cut the skin away from the flesh of each of the wedges down almost to the stem end. Place the two wedges together so that the stem ends are touching as shown in the picture, and then carefully curl the skins of the two halves.
5. Make cuts parallel to and about 0.5 cm. from the two cut faces of a tomato half so as to obtain about five V-shaped slices.
6. Nest these V-shaped slices between the two wedges, and then arrange them so that the tip of each slice projects slightly beyond the one below.
