It is difficult to imagine winter holiday dishes without fresh tomatoes, which, for obvious reasons, are completely tasteless at this time of year.
Most often, these are watery and hard vegetables that resemble tomatoes only in appearance. You need to know how to cook such vegetables.
Saving the Taste of Tasteless Tomatoes
In this case, you need to use flavor enhancers. The most accessible and relatively harmless is salt.
Firstly, you need to add salt to dishes with such tomatoes at the very last minute, otherwise the vegetables will release juice.
Secondly, salt dulls the bitter taste and also reduces acidity.
Thirdly, not only salt can improve the taste of tasteless tomatoes, but also the presence of pickles, anchovies or salted meat in the dish.
Fourthly, sugar will help correct the taste of such tomatoes.
Before adding to dishes, tomatoes are cut, placed on a plate and lightly sprinkled with sugar.
By the way, you can use the sugar life hack even when cooking from home-grown vegetables.
Sugar will make ripe tomatoes tastier, not just store-bought ones grown in the off-season.
Earlier we talked about how to properly cut vegetables for salad.
