Who doesn’t like tomatoes? And I say that it’s probably rare to meet such a person, though if only for health reasons.
In our family, tomatoes are sold with gusto, especially a great lover of my husband, without them will not eat. Therefore, every year we plant more than 100 bushes of tomatoes on our garden plot. Today I want to share a simple and quick recipe that I use to make tomato snacks, they are very tasty, a real delicacy, and they really never get bored. I can make them every day, they definitely do not stay on the table…

- Now you will need a bag, I use a bag for freezing, but you can take any plastic bag, but it is better to put 2 or 3 bags in one, so it will be stronger and will not tear.
- Send in the bag prepared tomatoes, add dill, garlic, pepper, salt and adjika (you can use dry, I buy ready adjika in jars), close the bag or tie it well, shake the contents to spices and herbs evenly distributed.
- Leave at room temperature for at least 5-6 hours, or better overnight, in the morning put it in the fridge, the longer it will stand, the tastier it will be.
