Provence & Côte D’azur — Vegetables, Condiments & Preparations
Using out-of-season tomatoes with poor flavour—concentration amplifies blandness as much as sweetness. Baking too hot or too fast, which roasts the edges while the centres remain wet. Not removing seeds, which add moisture and an unpleasant texture. Closing the oven door completely, trapping steam and preventing proper dehydration. Not fully submerging in oil when storing, which allows oxidation and spoilage.
