Tomatoes sold in stores do not always have a bright taste.
Some purchased fruits turn out to be “plastic”.
Gourmets use this adjective to describe tasteless tomatoes.
Did you buy exactly these vegetables? Don't be upset!
The thing is that “plastic” tomatoes can easily be transformed into incredibly appetizing ones.
There are two ways to "fix" tasteless tomatoes.
These tricks were shared by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.
Adding sugar
Do you want to use "plastic" tomatoes as an ingredient for a vegetable salad?
Then do the following: cut the tomatoes, put the resulting pieces into a bowl and sprinkle them with granulated sugar.
For each fruit there should be half a teaspoon of sugar.
Then add a little vegetable oil and mix the contents of the container well.
While the tomatoes are marinating, chop the other salad ingredients (e.g. cucumber, bell pepper, onion, herbs).
Next, mix it all with marinated tomatoes. You will get a real culinary masterpiece, because the tomato flavor will open up well.
Heat treatment
You can also restore the bright taste of “plastic” tomatoes by heating them.
You can fry tomato pieces in olive oil with the addition of garlic and herbs.
Two minutes of frying in a frying pan is enough to make the tomatoes very sweet.
Or you can heat up the tomatoes in the oven. As a result, the fruits will acquire not only a pleasant taste, but also tenderness.
