What cooking technique does "Monder" involve?

Monder is a cooking technique that specifically refers to the process of blanching fruits or vegetables briefly in boiling water to loosen their skins, making peeling easier. This method is particularly common with tomatoes and peaches, where the skin can be quite tough and undesirable in a dish. After blanching, the food is typically plunged into ice water to stop the cooking process, ensuring that the texture remains crisp and vibrant while facilitating the peeling process. This technique is essential in preparing ingredients for sauces or salads where the skin may detract from the overall texture and presentation.
