Preparing tomatoes

The appetizer turns out delicious when it is made from seasonal vegetables, so it is advisable to prepare lightly salted tomatoes in the fall. There are also several secrets for quick salting that will help speed up the cooking process.

Simple recommendations before making tomatoes in an instant jar:

• You can speed up the salting of tomatoes by carefully piercing each tomato with a toothpick;
• it is advisable to choose medium or small-sized fruits: lady fingers, Adam's apple and other miniature varieties;
• To prevent the vegetables from becoming bruised during the salting process, it is advisable to place them in a wide pan in which they will not lie on top of each other.

Lightly salted tomatoes with garlic and instant herbs in a bag

This is probably the most popular recipe for preparing lightly salted tomatoes, which take no more than a day to pickle. We will season them with garlic and dill, and they will be marinated in a bag.

Here's what we need:

• Tomatoes - 6 pcs.
• Garlic - 3 cloves.
• Salt - 1 tbsp without a slide.
• Tsp sugar.
• A bunch of dill.
• A few grinds of black pepper if desired.
• Food package.

Let's start by preparing the tomatoes. We wash them well and let them dry a little. We remove the green asses and make cuts to the middle of the fruit in the form of a cross. This way they will marinate faster. You can, if desired, divide them in half or leave them whole, but make holes with a toothpick.

Cut the garlic into small pieces or crush it. We took 3 cloves, which is quite enough for this amount of tomatoes. If you put more, they will be too spicy, but that's how I like it.

Next, take a small bunch of dill and cut it in your usual way. You can also add a couple of leaves of cockerel or other greens.

Take a small container and mix all the prepared ingredients for the marinade. We also throw in a few black peppercorns for flavor.

Now we take a small spoon and fill the tomatoes with garlic and herbs, where we made the cuts. We try to put in as much as possible. This way the tomatoes will pickle faster and be ready for consumption.

We put them in a plastic bag and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning, if there is any left. Make sure that the bag has no holes, otherwise the juice will leak. Cover it with a weak knot and knead the tomatoes, just don’t overdo it. Repeat this at least once an hour.

If you made cuts like I did, then it is advisable to keep the tomatoes in the marinade for at least 6-8 hours, and if you cut them into slices, then they will be ready in literally 2-3 hours. During this time, all the salt will dissolve and the tomatoes will be well saturated with the marinade.

List of ingredients for pickling

Undoubtedly, every cook has his own secret for preparing lightly salted tomatoes, but there is a general list of necessary products for this dish.

To make instant snack tomatoes tasty and aromatic, you can add to them: garlic, herbs, horseradish. A mixture of peppers and coriander are also suitable as spices.

Don’t be afraid to use too much salt for pickling, since the tomatoes, due to their skin, will absorb as much saltiness as needed.

With this recipe, in just 24 hours you get excellent salty and spicy tomatoes that will not leave any taster indifferent.

1. The first step, of course, is to thoroughly wash the vegetables and herbs. Each tomato should be pierced several times with a toothpick.
2. We cut the garlic into slices, cut the dill umbrellas into several parts, take the currant and horseradish leaves whole. We put all this in a sterile jar.
3. Following the herbs, place the tomatoes in the container.
4. Now it's time to make the marinade. Pour water into a saucepan and add sugar, salt, and spices. Place the dishes on the fire and after boiling, boil for another couple of minutes.
5. After waiting for the brine to cool to 60°C, pour it into the jar to the brim and close the lid.

How to properly store snacks

It is best to store lightly salted spicy tomatoes in a cool place. The temperature range for such a snack is +5…+7 C. Gradually the tomatoes will be soaked in the marinade and will become even tastier. In the cellar or refrigerator the shelf life is 8 months. Lightly salted tomatoes can be stored at room temperature for no more than 14 days.

There is no need to pour hot marinade over the tomatoes because their appearance will deteriorate: the skin will burst and become shriveled. The brine should be slightly warm in order to maintain the integrity of the fruit.

Quick cooking methods are relevant for those who want to make a delicious tomato snack in a short period of time. When preparing lightly salted tomatoes, it is important to take into account the proportions of the accompanying ingredients, but otherwise the recipes are quite simple even for beginners.

Lightly salted tomatoes in a jar with garlic and herbs for quick

You can quickly pickle tomatoes not only in a bag, as we did in the previous recipe, but also in a jar. Only for this you will need to make a brine with vinegar. Tomatoes are marinated in this way a little longer, about 2-3 days, but they turn out just as tasty. Personally, they remind me of store-bought ones.

Let's prepare:

• Tomatoes - 1.5-2 kg.
• Garlic - to taste.
• Dill and parsley.
• Bay leaf - 3-4 pcs.
• Salt - 4 tbsp.
• Sugar - 6 tbsp.
• Table vinegar 9% - 100 ml.
• Peppercorns - 5-6 pieces.
• Boiling water - 2 l. (it will take less)

How to marinate?

First of all, let's prepare the jars. We sterilize them in a pan, but you can do it in any way convenient for you. Pour water into a large saucepan and put it on fire. Lay a towel on the bottom and place the jars on it. Bring to a boil and sterilize for 10-15 minutes. By the way, I came across recipes where these steps were dispensed with, but here’s what you like.

While the jars are being prepared, we rinse all the tomatoes well in clean water. Let them dry a little. It is best to take small varieties; in our case, they were “plum-shaped”. We make several holes in each fruit using a toothpick or other sharp object so that the tomatoes are better saturated with brine.

For taste, take 5-6 cloves of garlic and cut into slices. You can make them into large ones or just leave them whole, or you can make them into rings like we did.

A bunch of greens consisting of parsley and dill is thoroughly washed and dried. We cut it quite large so that later it is easier to take it out of the jar. I also use stems, because who cares what will give off its aroma. You can also add dill umbrellas or other herbs if desired.

Now that the jars have been sterilized, let them cool a little and put the tomatoes, garlic and herbs in them. We do this in layers, put dill with parsley and a few pieces of garlic on the bottom, then a few tomatoes and then repeat the layers.

Fill it as tightly as possible. You can cut the tomatoes in half, which is what we did when filling one jar. Firstly, this way they will marinate faster, and secondly, much more will fit into the container.

Now let's prepare the brine for the tomatoes. Pour two liters of clean water into the pan and place it on the stove. After boiling, add 4 tbsp salt and 6 sugar. Throw a few bay leaves and the desired amount of pepper into the peas. Let it simmer for 8-10 minutes and turn off the heat. Fill next 100 ml. table vinegar, mix and leave for another 10 minutes. During this time, the brine will cool down and can be poured into jars.

Fill the tomatoes with brine to the very edge. Screw on the lids and place the jars bottom to top. Let them cool completely and put them in a cool place for a few days. The ones we made in half could be eaten within a day, and whole tomatoes were ready in literally three days. These are the instant tomatoes we rolled into jars. We hope you found this recipe helpful.
