Cooking as simple as five kopecks
- My tomatoes and cut off unnecessary: rot, bruised.Some prefer peeled tomatoes. To do this, they need, having washed, scalded with boiling water - so the skin will be removed quite easily. Some like to scrub and seed. Such a procedure usually does not allow the salad to drain, if it stands up, that is, a minimum of juice is formed.
- Tomatoes cut into slices or semicircles - as you like.
- Onions cleaned from the upper skin, cutthin semirings. You can lightly salt it with pepper, pour the marinade and squeeze. Then let stand and marinade after merging. So the bitterness will disappear. But you can not resort to a similar procedure.
- Mix both ingredients previouslyprepared in a large bowl. Salad refills with a spoonful of vegetable oil (but you can generally not refill). Salt to taste (use the so-called Himalayan salt - it is full of trace elements, but you can use kitchen stone or sea). Grind peppers with a mixture (be careful, salt is included in some compositions so that you do not salt 2 times).

We will need:strong tomatoes - 5 pounds, onion - 2.5 pounds, Lavrushka, allspice (a bag of peas), black pepper (similarly), cloves in buds, salt with sugar plus vinegar and vegetable oil.
How to close
- My tomatoes carefully (we remind, they should be as hard as possible). Cut tomatoes into slices (it’s best to cut them along).
- Onions cleaned and cut into half rings (better if the bulbs are quite large or at least medium size).
- The two main ingredients are mixed vegetables in a large container.
- In half-liter jars, pre-washed, we place several leaves of laurel, several peas of allspice and black pepper, a couple of carnation buds.
- We put tomatoes and onions in containers with a little tamping. And on top we pour on a small spoonful of salt and sugar - on each jar. Fill with water.
- After we put the jars sterilized for 10-15 minutes from the moment of boiling.
- A couple of minutes before the final sterilization in boiling water, add a spoonful of oil and a spoonful of vinegar to each vessel.
- Lid rolls in hot conditionthen turning it upside down and covering it with a warm blanket so that it would cool down not abruptly, but gradually.

Then this food certainly does not harm the figure. A tomato salad with onions, prepared for the winter, will occupy one of the first places on the winter table.
By layers
А теперь – вариации.It is possible in this way to arrange the salad in jars: a layer of tomatoes, a layer of onions, then repeat this construction several times. In principle, this cooking option is practically no different from the previous recipe - only in appearance. But some hostesses, defending their opinion, argue that this method of rings (or half rings) of onion seems to share tomatoes, and the ingredient itself has a less harsh taste. Well, to say: you can always cook a part of the product first, and part - the second way. And then, opening the jars, compare the taste and aromatic properties of both blanks. But the salad of tomatoes with onions and butter in this and in another case will remain equally useful and tasty.
