salted and/or otherwise flavored tomatoes give off. I've read but not tried an easy method that involves freezing ripe tomatoes first; as they defrost in a strainer the liquid is supposed to run out pretty clear without a lot of fuss.

My favorite use from any chopped tomato is cook's treat , and I also often use it in a dressing for our salad. Splash of lemon or some kind of vinegar and oil. It's not what your chef does, but I've been known to sprinkle in a flavoring we like, like a steak spice mix.

But for the most part the closest I get to making more tomato water for a dish is from what I pour off from something like pico de gallo in the summer; 2 or 3 chopped ripe tomatoes' worth puts off enough wonderful, spicy liquid to serve as cool puddles of broth for seafood or seafood, and maybe some lightly steamed veggies, for the two of us.
