We picked fresh tomatoes from the most beautiful field in the village marinated them for the winter!

vinegar

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: white wine vinegar

Lemon juice offers a fresh acidity while being more natural.

fresh dill

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: dried dill

Parsley is a common herb that can substitute for dill in flavor.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: agave syrup

Honey can add sweetness with a different flavor profile.

Select ripe tomatoes and wash them thoroughly.

Slice tomatoes into quarters or halves based on size.

Peel and slice garlic cloves thinly.

In a bowl, combine vinegar, water, salt, sugar, and black pepper.

Stir the mixture until salt and sugar dissolve completely.

In a clean jar, layer tomato slices, garlic, and fresh dill.

Pour the vinegar mixture over the layered tomatoes until fully submerged.

Add bay leaves to the jar for additional flavor.

Seal the jar tightly and shake gently to mix ingredients.

Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow flavors to meld.

Serve chilled as a side dish or appetizer.
