To prepare this dish, tomatoes are crushed to the required state in any way convenient for you. Add salt if desired and eat or drink immediately. Children eat thick puree (especially decorated with herbs) with pleasure. It can be easily converted into a sauce by adding spices (salt, garlic, herbs, lemon juice, sugar) when grinding. This freshly prepared sauce is perfect for all meat dishes and potatoes.
Tomatoes with garlic.
When choosing what to cook from tomatoes, you can grind them through a meat grinder, or you can grind them in a food processor. For garlic, it is better to use a crusher or mortar and pestle. Approximate proportion: for 1 kg of tomatoes - a glass of peeled garlic cloves, 1.5 tbsp. spoons of salt. Options are possible and depend on your preferences. You can add hot pepper, suneli hops, adjika or spices from the garden to the resulting mixture.

Fried pies with tomatoes and cheese
Popular bomb pies with tomatoes, feta and garlic. Deep fry. Cheburek dough, juicy sweet tomato, spicy garlic and salty soft cheese. Just great! Let's cook!
Ingredients:
- 250 ml boiling water;
- 400 g flour:
- 4 tbsp. l. vegetable oil + for deep frying;
- 2/3 tsp. salt;
- 1 tsp. Sahara;
- 3 medium tomatoes;
- 2 cloves of garlic.
Wash the tomatoes and cut into circles. If you are not lazy, first remove the skin (dip it in boiling water for 20 seconds, the skin will come off easily). Mix feta with garlic passed through a press. If you want, add chopped dill.
Prepare the dough. Pour boiling water into a large bowl, add salt, sugar and 4 tbsp. l. oil, preferably olive oil. Add flour and knead into a stiff dough. It should be elastic and not stick to your hands; if necessary, add flour.
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll both to a thickness of 2 ml. Place tomato circles on one rolled out layer at a distance of 2.5 cm from each other. Place a teaspoon of cheese filling on each circle. Cover with a second layer of dough. Using a glass whose diameter is at least a centimeter larger than the tomato circle, cut out the pies and seal the edges. Divide the remaining dough into equal parts (an even number), make balls and roll each one out with a rolling pin, then lay out the tomatoes with the filling, cover with the dough, and seal the edges with a fork.
Fry the pies in a deep fryer, frying pan or saucepan in a large amount of oil until golden brown (temperature - 180 degrees). Using a slotted spoon, remove pies to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Exotic! The jam turns out to be moderately thick, very sweet, with a bright tomato flavor and light yellow seeds. You can smell black pepper. And yet, no matter how you tune in, you don’t expect such sweetness from canned tomatoes. Therefore, we suggest making tomato jam from one kilogram of vegetables for testing. As an option, eat jam for breakfast, spread on toast or bread.
Ingredients for tomato jam:
- 1 kg of ripe tomatoes;
- 450 g sugar;
- 2-3 pinches of ground pepper;
- a good pinch of salt;
- 1 tsp. lemon juice (freshly squeezed).
Cut the tomatoes with an X where the stem is, then place them in boiling water for 20 seconds. Select, cool slightly and remove the skin. Cut into one and a half centimeter cubes and place in a saucepan. Add sugar, salt, pepper, bring to a boil, and then cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally and skimming off the foam. Boil until the liquid is reduced by half. Add lemon juice and the jam is ready! Sterilize (boil or heat in the oven) the jars and lids, pour the jam. Turn over until cool. Store in a cool place (refrigerator or cellar) for six months.
