Marinated Tomato Appetizer with Sprats
Appetizers • Russian
Description
The first association this recipe will likely evoke is marinated tomatoes, a winter preparation that is diligently preserved in jars every summer. Here, it doesn't apply: peeled tomatoes are pickled very quickly, retaining their perfect shape, and are eaten even faster. Topped with sprats, this simple recipe transforms into a beautiful appetizer not only for vodka but also for chilled white wine.
