Just lick your fingers! In the recipe, which I took as a basis, it was indicated that the tomatoes would be ready in a day.

Ingredients:

  • 1 kg of tomatoes;
  • 7-9 large cloves of garlic;
  • 1/3 hot pepper pod;
  • 6-8 peas of allspice;
  • 6-8 peas of black pepper;
  • 2 bay leaves;
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar - with a slide;
  • 1 tablespoon of coarse salt - with a slide;
  • 3 tablespoons 9% vinegar;
  • 1 bunch of fresh dill;
  • 1.3 liters of water.

How to cook lightly salted tomatoes with garlic and herbs:

For this method of pickling tomatoes, small tomatoes - cream are best suited. Tomatoes must be firm, ripe, unadorned and not spoiled. We sort out and select the tomatoes. We wash them in running water.

We wash and lightly dry the dill greens, finely chop.

We peel the garlic and rinse the cloves with cold water, pass through a press.

Mix the dill and garlic.

Cut the bitter pepper into thin, 2-3 mm thick rings.

Cooking the marinade. Pour water into a saucepan, put sugar, salt, bay leaf and both types of pepper. Bring the marinade to a boil over high heat, cook for a couple of minutes until all the crystals of salt and sugar dissolve. Then turn off the heat, pour in the vinegar and stir. Cover the pan with a lid and set it aside.

Now we are preparing the tomatoes. On the side opposite to the stalk, cut the tomatoes crosswise at about 3/4 of the height.

Gently helping yourself with your fingers, open the incision and put the dill and garlic filling there. It is convenient to do this with a coffee spoon. We stick a ring of bitter pepper on top. Hot peppers can be used both red and green. But with green, ready-made tomatoes look prettier.

Put the stuffed tomatoes in a container - a saucepan, bowl or jar.

Fill with hot marinade (it just cooled down to 70 - 80 degrees, while you were stuffing tomatoes). The marinade should cover all the tomatoes. At the stated ratio of tomatoes to water, there is usually enough water to cover all the tomatoes. If not, add water - increasing the amount of salt, sugar and vinegar accordingly.

If required, we set light oppression on the tomatoes so that they do not float. For this I took an ordinary flat plate. We tighten the container with tomatoes with cling film and leave at room temperature.

After 1.5 days, the brine in the tomatoes will become slightly cloudy, but the tomatoes will not be completely ready yet. But after another 0.5 days the tomatoes will be completely ready: fragrant, moderately spicy - very tasty lightly salted tomatoes with garlic and herbs! If your house is cool, then the tomatoes may need more time - up to 3 days.

Instant lightly salted tomatoes - the most delicious recipes

Lightly salted tomatoes in a saucepan - cook in brine

Prepare not in two days. It is very convenient, fast, simple, and most importantly - it turns out delicious!

We will need:

  • (about eight small pieces),
  • dill and parsley,
  • hot peppers and allspice,
  • Bay leaf,
  • garlic,
  • sugar (tablespoon),
  • salt (teaspoon),
  • water (one liter approximately).

Take whatever container is convenient for you. You can have a jar, you can have a saucepan, you can have a bowl.

I like to do it in a saucepan, I don’t like to get it out of a can ... Poking around, poking around there ... you remember all the tomatoes, as usual ... But you do what is most convenient for you.

So how to cook:

  1. Wash the tomatoes, cut in half,
  2. Cut the garlic into "petals" or crush in a garlic press,
  3. Put half of the prepared herbs, garlic, pepper, bay leaf in a container at the bottom,
  4. Place prepared tomatoes on top.
  5. Prepare the brine (boil water with sugar and salt) and immediately pour the hot brine over the tomatoes.
  6. Put the rest of the greenery on top and press down with the "weight". For this purpose, I use a jar of water on a plate.
  7. Cover your "building" with gauze to prevent dust from getting there and leave it at room temperature (you can directly on the kitchen table) for two days.

In two days, get it out and try it!

Put the remaining tomatoes in the refrigerator.

Lightly salted tomatoes in a bag

The next recipe is from the category of "instant cooking".

These are lightly salted tomatoes cooked in a bag. An excellent snack, I can tell you, friends!

Fast, simple, delicious. You do not need to use the dishes or cook the brine ... Once - and you're done! Grace!

As usual, I share my "trick": I add a little more cucumbers and bell peppers to such tomatoes. This makes them even tastier! Try it!

So, we need:

  • About one kilogram of tomatoes,
  • If you use sweet (Bulgarian) peppers and cucumbers, then there are 3-4 of them, no more, depending on their size and your taste,
  • One whole head of garlic (this is for my taste, if you are not a fan of the spicy garlic taste - no problem, add less!),
  • Greens (dill, parsley, cilantro) - the more the better
  • Salt (see for yourself to your liking)
  • Ground black pepper.

Preparation:

  1. Use a sturdy and durable bag for this purpose. I use it with a zip fastener, it's very convenient!
  2. Wash all vegetables and herbs thoroughly, cut vegetables as you like (I cut very, very coarsely, it turns out beautifully, and there will be no vegetable "porridge"),
  3. Fold vegetables, herbs in a bag, add chopped garlic, salt, black pepper there,
  4. Tie (close) the bag and gently shake its contents so that all the ingredients are mixed together,
  5. Put the bag in the refrigerator for a day, periodically take it out and turn it over so that the brine soaks the vegetables evenly.

If you want the tomatoes to cook faster, then you do not need to put the bag in the refrigerator, leave it at room temperature, and in a few hours you will be able to enjoy instant salted tomatoes!

My advice to you: if you don’t eat all the tomatoes at once (although I don’t think so ... they are so tasty!), then it would be best to take them out of the bag and put them in a jar or other container.

I noticed that if they continue to be stored in a bag (even in the refrigerator!), Then they seem to "suffocate", something ... That is, they become lethargic, ugly, tasteless and ... nothing, in general ...

Lightly salted cherry tomatoes - recipe

I love this recipe! Cherry tomatoes themselves have an interesting taste, and lightly salted tomatoes are even tastier! And we will add more greenery and garlic to them ... mmm ... a fairy tale!

We will need:

  • Cherry tomatoes - take 500 grams,
  • , parsley - in a large bunch,
  • Garlic - according to your taste, I take three cloves,
  • Salt, black pepper.

So, let's prepare:

  • My tomatoes and greens, finely chop the greens, chop the garlic.
  • Then each tomato, so that it is well salted, we pierce in several places with a toothpick (you can make a cruciform incision in the place where the stalk is).
  • We put the tomatoes in a bowl, add herbs, salt, pepper, garlic there, mix thoroughly.
  • Now cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature for a couple of hours, stirring occasionally.

By the way, you can immediately cook your "cherry" in a bag, if it is so convenient for you!

Serve them well and just like that, and pour a small amount of vegetable oil on top, olive oil is great here.

As a greenery, I like to add basil and rosemary to such tomatoes, sooo aromatic!

Just do not overdo it, basil and rosemary have a rather strong aroma and taste, and I can easily "score" with myself all the charm of this dish!

Another "trick" for those who love a spicy taste: add soy sauce instead of salt - it tastes very cool!

And yes, such lightly salted tomatoes can be made from ordinary ones, if there is no cherry on hand.

Dont be upset. And boldly cook from those that are! From experience - pink tomatoes according to this recipe are also very good!

Lightly salted appetizer differs from pickled food in that the process takes much less time. The cooking procedure itself is similar: in most recipes, the brine is first boiled, and then vegetables are poured over it. Wait a day, and then you can eat the tomatoes. To make the appetizer as tasty as possible, use the following tricks:

  1. Tomatoes are chosen the same as for pickles. They should contain a dense seed chamber, be moderately juicy and small in size.

Varieties Ivanych, Yamal, Semko, Antoshka, Alpha, Gnome are well suited for salting.
  2. The fruits should be healthy without signs of rot, late blight, powdery mildew and other diseases.
  3. Before cooking, all used utensils, including jars and a saucepan, must be sterilized or rinsed with boiling water. If infected, the workpiece may deteriorate.
  4. You can store the finished product in the refrigerator for no more than 3 days. Tomatoes quickly deteriorate, and their taste begins to change to sour.
