roma tomatoes
Oblong Italian cultivar
Roma tomatoes are a variety of plum tomato prized for their meaty flesh, few seeds, and low moisture content.
These qualities make them ideal for sauces, pastes, and canning, as they cook down into a thick, rich consistency without becoming watery.
They have an elongated, egg-like shape and are sometimes called paste tomatoes or Italian tomatoes.
The recipe calls for six roma tomatoes, diced.
