Casserole Making Tips -
Tomatoes

	Tomatoes are prized for their flavor, texture, and versatility. Tomatoes are eaten raw and cooked. They are found in cuisines around the world.

Casserole Making Tips -
Garlic

	Cut off a bit of each end of the garlic clove and discard before mincing, crushing, chopping or slicing. If you place the clove on its side, you can easily remove the skin by placing the flat edge of a very large knife over the clove and smacking the knife blade with the heel of your hand.
