Instructions

Wash the tomatoes, remove the stalks and prick 4–5 holes in each with a toothpick. Bring the rest of the ingredients to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes. Place the tomatoes in the brine and leave them to simmer for 5–6 minutes. Remove them and place them in sterilised jars that have been rinsed with a little Atamon. Now pour the hot liquid over them and seal the jars.
