You will need to seed and dice the plum tomatoes for this recipe. First, use a chef's knife and cut each tomato half lengthwise. Gently squeeze the tomato half over a bowl to remove the seeds and excess liquid. Next, cut each tomato half lengthwise into thin strips. Line up the strips and cut across into a dice. Repeat with the remaining tomato halves.
