Very finely diced ingredients, such as tomatoes. To make tomato concasé, blanch the tomatoes for 10 seconds, remove and place into ice-cold water. With a paring knife, gently peel off the skin. Cut the tomato into quarters and then slice under the seeds to separate the flesh. Cut the petals into long strips and then into very fine dice.
