6 servings
30 minutes
The first association that this recipe will probably evoke in you is pickled tomatoes, a winter preparation that is carefully canned in jars every summer. It doesn't work here: peeled tomatoes marinate very quickly, retaining their ideal shape, and are eaten even faster. And the sprats spread on their tops turn this simple recipe into a beautiful snack not only for vodka, but also for cold white wine.
