You've seen these before but a good ideas bear repeating. A brief kiss with a butane torch and the tomatoes transform from sweet succulent bites into something softer and more intense with a slightly crisp and bitter edge. As with most things, it's a small refinement that makes a big difference. The devil is in the details so you may as well get him to work for you.
*This is a great use for that butane torch you bought for creme brulee and don't know what else to do with. The technique also works well on other vegetables (grapes are amazing) and seafood.
