How to prepare roasted tomatoes for the winter

First of all, you need to chop the tomatoes quite finely. You can first peel them by dousing them with boiling water. But you can also use the whole tomato, along with the skin. This will not affect the taste of the roast in any way.

Place the chopped tomatoes in a frying pan with heated sunflower oil. Add salt, sugar and black pepper. If desired, you can add additional herbs or spices, as well as chopped onion or garlic. It is worth focusing on the dishes in which you plan to add this frying and your taste preferences.

After 5 minutes of heat treatment of the tomatoes, you need to add a little clean water.Cover the pan with a lid and, stirring occasionally, simmer for 10-20 minutes. Cooking time depends on the hardness and size of the tomatoes. When a homogeneous tomato mass forms in the pan, it means the frying is ready. It should be cooled and placed in forms for freezing.

You can use silicone ice molds or simple ones for baking cupcakes. The main thing is that the frozen roast is easy to get.

Freezing occurs within several hours. After which it is removed from the molds and put into a bag or container for storage. You can add this tomato ice to any dish when cooking. No pre-thawing required.
