I have loved tomatoes for as long as I can remember. There is no reason for my love. Although it is not like a raging river, I have a special liking for it! In the spring and summer when tomatoes are abundant, I come to serve a dish about it almost every day. The most common dishes are red and yellow: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, tomato and egg soup, noodles with tomato and egg, and a plate of white sugar mixed with tomatoes to relieve the heat in hot weather. These dishes are very handy to do, but they don't appeal to my family's hearts. Every time I look at my heart with bitterness, my conscience finds that I promise to give them a tomato stewed beef brisket for the next time, which shows that I have deep affection for it!

in midsummer, my sister will cook several large cans of tomato sauce at home to make up for the regret that there is no tomato food in winter, and put it in the refrigerator until I get home. Although it is not difficult to do, it is particularly time-consuming and fire-consuming. First, wash the ripe tomatoes, boil a pot of water, pour the tomatoes into the pot and wait for one minute, then take them out, peel them and cut them into small pieces. Then find a stainless steel pot (never an iron pot), pour the tomatoes into the pot and boil them on low fire. Determine the amount of sugar added according to the personal taste until they are sticky. At this time, put them into glass bottles prepared in advance, seal them and put them in the refrigerator.

I often travel to Xinjiang for business. I used to know that Xinjiang is rich in tomatoes, and the raw materials of ketchup in many fast food restaurants in the mainland come from Xinjiang. One day, my friend showed me around their market. I was surprised to find that there were dried tomatoes made of tomatoes, which was very rare for me, a bumpkin in the mainland. I immediately decided to buy some to taste, which was a little salty and loved, and found a way to eat tomatoes in winter, so I got it from my friend and gave it to my dear sister on WeChat. The method is still very simple, but it is still tedious and time-consuming. In the process of slicing, drying and drying, it is more convenient to sprinkle a little salt with an oven. Slice and bake in the oven to dehydrate.

I'm a foodie. That's all I have to do with tomatoes at present. I'll share more tomato practices with you after I realize my dream of eating all the delicious food in the world in the future.
