With the arrival of summer, fresh vegetables and fruits delight us with their abundance. And when, no matter how in the warm season, saturate the body with vitamins? Therefore, we suggest preparing a simple and delicious appetizer of tomatoes, garlic and herbs. It is prepared in a matter of minutes, but it can serve as an excellent addition to main courses.
It is necessary
- - tomatoes - 4 pcs.;
- - garlic - 5 cloves;
- - dill - 1 bunch;
- - parsley - 1 bunch;
- - vegetable oil (olive or sunflower) - 200 ml;
- - vinegar 9% - 40 ml;
- - salt - 1 tsp;
- - sugar - 1 tsp;
- - ground black pepper - a few pinches;
- - blender.
Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the dill and parsley greens under running water, chop coarsely, and then put in a bowl. Add vegetable oil, salt, sugar, vinegar and black pepper to them.
Step 2
Remove the husk from the cloves of garlic, and then cut them into 3-4 pieces and send them to the bowl with herbs and spices. Then use a hand blender to grind the contents of the bowl. The thickness of the appetizer dressing can be adjusted to your liking: whisk with a blender until smooth, or make just a few gentle turns so that the ingredients are not completely chopped, but at the same time have time to mix together.
Step 3
Now let's get to the tomatoes. Wash them, pat dry, and then cut into wedges. The pieces should not be too thin. It is best to simply divide the vegetables into 6-8 pieces, depending on the size of the fruit. Then transfer them to a plate. Drizzle over the resulting dressing and stir to soak each tomato wedge with oil and garlic aroma. 4 tomatoes will take about 3 tablespoons of sauce. The rest can be poured into a jar with a lid and refrigerated until next time.
Step 4
Such a simple and tasty tomato snack will come in handy with meat, chicken, potatoes and other first and second courses, including barbecue in the fresh air.
