Peel tomatoes by dipping them in boiling water for about 30 seconds; slip skins off.

Cut tomatoes in half horizontally.

Over a bowl lined with a sieve, seed tomatoes, catching and reserving juice.

Cut each tomato half in two.

In a food processor, in batches if necessary, puree tomato, cucumber, red onion, and shallot.
