A family recipe from our editor Lyudmila Salnikova. The recipe is one of those that were once written down by hand in thick culinary notebooks and passed down through generations. The set of herbs for pickling can be changed and supplemented, for example , by introducing currant or horseradish leaves into it. The main thing here is not the content, but the surprise itself, which is found inside each tomato. But you should not get too carried away - from an excess of additions, the brine becomes cloudy. Opening a jar with a summer dill aroma is especially pleasant in winter, when bad weather rages outside. Although they rarely survive until winter, especially since the recipe is from the category "quickly pickled, quickly eaten": a week after preparation, you can and should start tasting.

This can of preserves is a battlefield between two strong tastes of onion and honey. Although the distance between them is not that huge: in red onion (not even in tender Yalta, but in regular hot) per 100 grams of live weight there are about 5 grams of pure sugars (that is, about the same as in a can of Coca-Cola). In general, it is spicy, and sweet, and sour from vinegar, and in general everything is very harmonious. Open such a can when you cook a pork chop, fry a steak or bake chicken with potatoes. In general, it will be a brilliant addition to any meat. Well, if there is something left, you can bake a circle of thin crispy dough, first by itself, until a slight crunch, and then with marinated onion rings on top , and the result is a version of the classic pissaladière onion pie, slightly simplified, but still very French. The original amount of ingredients will yield about 500 ml of the preparation.

The initial amount of ingredients will make about 500 ml of the preparation. For this recipe, you need to take small onions, even onion sets.
