Pickled tomatoes without water are an ancient European method of salting tomatoes passed down through generations. In this recipe, the tomatoes gain a rich flavor thanks to aromatic herbs, garlic, and spices that enhance their zest. The preparation process is very simple: fresh tomatoes are thoroughly mixed with greens and spices, and then, through natural fermentation, they acquire a pleasant sourness and vibrant taste. This method preserves the freshness of the tomatoes and complements them with the sharp aroma of horseradish and parsley. The taste of pickled tomatoes is a harmony of sweet-sour notes with a savory saltiness. They perfectly complement meat dishes, pair well with potatoes, or simply serve as an independent snack that reveals the richness of natural ingredients.

The recipe is taken from the book "The North Warms" by Rashid Rakhmanov, published by "Eksmo". "Probably, this salad combines all the ways in which the Uralians of that region prepared food for the long winters. This includes salting elk meat (corned beef), pickling cabbage, marinating mushrooms, and soaking berries (for example, lingonberries). You will find several recipes in this book in the relevant sections. I will dwell separately on corned elk meat. Like many northern dishes, corned beef appeared due to the need to store food for the long winters. This is how elk and deer meat was preserved: it was rubbed with salt and placed in a kind of refrigerator - in a hole in the frozen the ground, lined with stones, and then covered with earth. This method was common among many peoples of the North (Yakuts, Evens, Evenks, Nganasans). For me, this salad embodies the history and cultural traditions of the peoples of the Northern Urals. We use wet salting because it has some advantages over dry salting. With wet salting, salt penetrates the meat faster and is distributed evenly, the product turns out tender and moderately salty (unlike dry salting, where the meat is greatly dehydrated, becoming dry and tough ) . In addition, it is easier to saturate the salt solution with spices
