Lightly salted green tomatoes in Armenian style

home

Traditionally, preservation of “pot-bellied” vegetables in the Armenian style occurs without the use of vinegar, and the tomatoes are stuffed with herbs and garlic. However, the recipe has become overgrown with many variations: the conventions are not always followed, but the preparation turns out no less tasty.

Choosing tomatoes...

  1. Armenian canned brown and green tomatoes will turn out delicious if you choose the right main ingredient. You should not use spoiled fruits and tomatoes for harvesting, the skin of which has dents and cracks. It is important to pay attention to two more points.
  2. Form. Give preference to plum or bullet shaped tomatoes. The fruits of these varieties are covered with thick skin and contain a lot of pulp, but little juice.

Color. Most often, green tomatoes that begin to turn brown are preserved. This is due to the fact that under the influence of the press and hot brine the fruits are deformed: the most durable and strong vegetables are needed.

Brown tomatoes are best, but you can also make the preparation from green, pink and even red tomatoes.

...and other components Traditionally, the preparation is made with herbs (parsley, cilantro, basil, dill), but there are also original recipes

  • , suggesting the use of:
  • bell pepper;
  • cabbage;
  • carrots;

onions

You should use plain salt, not iodized salt. It’s great if you can get spring water.

3 methods of preservation

  1. The task of preservation is to increase the level of acidity so that pathogenic microorganisms cannot develop and the preserved products do not spoil. Armenian tomatoes for the winter can be prepared in three ways.
  2. Pickling.
  3. Due to the functioning of beneficial microorganisms, lactic acid is formed, which is undesirable for bacteria.

Salting. Lactic acid is formed, and salt assumes the role of a factor destructive to pathogenic microorganisms.

Pickling. The essence of the method is the introduction of the finished acid. In the case of Armenian tomatoes, 9% vinegar is used.

The specifics of each method are reflected in the table below.Table - Features of preservation methodsConservation type
prosMinuses
Pickling

- Health safety;
- preserving the taste of food (a little salt is added)- relatively low shelf life
Salting
- Environmental friendliness;
- not suitable for those who do not like salty foods
Pickling- There is no long fermentation process;
- you can use a small amount of salt;
- long shelf life
- Makes the taste of the dish more “flat”;
- not suitable for people with problems digestive system;
- additional sterilization of workpieces is required

For Armenian tomatoes, salting is most preferable. This is the method traditionally used to make the workpiece.

Methodological subtleties

The conservation process, in addition to following step by step recipes, involves proper preparation of products and sterilization of cans and preparations. How to do it?

How to prepare food

  1. Rinse vegetables, herbs and herbs thoroughly.
  2. Remove peels from onions and garlic, and remove seeds and stems from peppers.

How to sterilize jars and lids

  1. Wash containers and lids with baking soda and laundry soap.
  2. Sterilize jars in any way (in the oven, multicooker, microwave, steam bath);
  3. Boil the lids for 10-15 minutes or pour boiling water over them.

Sterilization of jars and lids is a mandatory stage in the preparation of tomatoes in Armenian style. If this is not done, the tomatoes will spoil very quickly. When using fermentation and pickling, when the preparation is made in a saucepan, the vessel must be thoroughly rinsed and doused with boiling water.

How to sterilize workpieces

  1. To the bottom large pan lay down a cloth napkin.
  2. Cover the jars with the preparation with lids (but do not screw them on) and place them in the container.
  3. Pour water into the pan so that it reaches the “shoulders” of the cans.
  4. After boiling, keep the containers in a steam bath.

The holding time in the water bath depends on the volume of the jar. The following table will help you figure this out.

Sterilization of workpieces is only necessary when marinating.

Reviews: “My grandmother made them and taught me”

I only put celery, garlic and pepper and fill it with the same brine. Although I know that there is also such a combination of greens: celery, parsley, savory, basil, dill. Sprigs of dried dill are placed on top and under pressure so that they do not float up.

Barbariska, http://hlebopechka. ru/index. php? option=com_smf&Itemid=126&topic=141704.0

In our family, tomatoes were always stuffed with herbs and garlic, plus a little hot pepper. They left it to ferment. An incredibly tasty snack. My grandmother made them and taught me how to do it. It’s good to add thinly chopped bell pepper (to the green mixture) to these tomatoes. Greens - not only dill, you can also have parsley, a little mint, celery, whatever you like. I know that in Georgia, housewives also made similar pickles, so it is incorrect to call them Armenian.

Svetlana, http://kuking. net/1_646.htm

My grandmother (may she rest in heaven) made green tomatoes the Armenian way (that’s what she called them). This is when a tomato is not cut completely in the middle and a circle (cut) of chili pepper, a slice of garlic and a slice (circle, stick) of horseradish are put into it like in a shell. Next, put the stuffed tomatoes in a jar and add simple brine. Have a snack with vodka and any strong and non-sweetened drinks in the cold.
