Marinated green tomatoes stuffed with garlic

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pickled green tomatoes with garlic? It is better to use light green or slightly brown tomatoes for this preparation, because dark green fruits contain solanine, a substance dangerous to human health. But if only dark-colored tomatoes remain, then it’s okay, solanine can be removed from them by soaking the vegetables in salt water; you need to keep them in water for about 8 hours, changing the water every two hours.

2. STEP 2

   

   You need to prepare the jars for twisting in advance. It is better to take 1 liter jars so that you can eat the product at once. Wash the jars with soda, sterilize in one of the convenient ways: in a water bath, in the oven or in the microwave. I like oven sterilization: it’s quick, easy, and you get a lot of jars at once. For 1 liter jars, 10 minutes at a temperature of 150 degrees is enough. Wash the lids and boil.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and let the water drain. Make a cross-shaped cut on each tomato, not reaching the stalk. Wash the carrots, peel and cut into circles. Peel the garlic and cut each clove into thin slices.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place a few pieces of carrots and garlic into the slits in the tomatoes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the dill and parsley thoroughly and dry.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place a sprig of dill and parsley, a bay leaf and peppercorns at the bottom of each jar. If desired, you can use other spices and seasonings.

7. STEP 7

   

   Carefully place the tomatoes stuffed with garlic and carrots on top so that the filling does not fall out.

8. STEP 8

   

   Prepare the marinade. Pour filtered water into the pan, add sugar and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring until the bulk mixture is completely dissolved. Pour in vinegar, turn off the heat.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the prepared marinade into the jars of tomatoes, pour the marinade up to the shoulders of the jars. Cover the jars with lids, but do not screw them on. Place the jars in a pan of water, place a napkin on the bottom and sterilize for about 15 minutes from the moment the water boils in the pan. Immediately roll up the lids on the jars. Let cool upside down under a blanket at room temperature and store in the pantry. The workpiece is ready. Bon appetit!

Thanks for the reminder - I completely forgot about green tomatoes) Today I’ll buy them at the market, one thing always confuses me in such recipes - why so much vinegar? I never add more than 40-50 ml of 9% per 1 liter of water...

Unusual and very tasty! My husband and I have always loved these tomatoes, but I used to buy them at the fair. And this year I decided to make this delicacy myself - everything worked out. So for those who don’t have their own garden, the main thing is to get green tomatoes, and preparing a snack will not take any time or effort at all. Only I stuffed it with garlic alone, without carrots. Thank you very much for the recipe!
