Pickled Cherry Tomatoes
4 servings
60 minutes
Cherry tomatoes are the only winter tomatoes that have flavor. Despite their miniature size, these tomatoes are very fleshy, they don't have many seeds, and the skin is very thin, which is why the tomatoes burst on the tongue like ik rinki . If you pickle a couple of handfuls of them, they will become the best decoration for salads and appetizers: just scatter a few red balls on the surface of the dishes - and natural decor with a New Year's mood is ready. Recipe from Vitaly Rossokha, chef of the restaurant "Dr. Zhivago".
