Russian Gourmet:Pickled Tomatoes

April 17th, 2008 · 11 Comments

Russians pickle everything that grows:cucumbers,tomatoes,apples, watermelons, cabbage,eggplants and whatever else can fit in a jar, can, bucket, barrel and taste good 6 months later. There is nothing more simple and delicious than pickled tomatoes.

Cold shot of vodka, pickled tomato,
Inhale through the nose, repeat.
Life makes sense.

    These sound yummy. I’ll have to make some if I can keep from drinking all the vodka first.

    On another food note, this Friday Feast thing is spreading like a super virus. Any way you would allow me to use your No Friday Feast image on my site to show others that my site is virus free? :)

    Okies pickle everything too. Mmm. Pickled watermelon rinds. <3

    Any tips on where to acquire such picklings locally?

    there are two Russian stores in this area: European Delights on 95th and Antioch and (forgot the name) on 79th block west of Metcalf.

    Wow, never heard of pickled tomatoes , or watermelon rinds for that matter. I did do a bunch of jalepenos from your recipe last night Meesha, looking forward to trying them this weekend!

    the ones I made turned out great, but they make me cry… and eat some more
    we pickled whole watermelons,not just rinds,delish.
    I should offer tours of the Russian store.

    That looks almost TOO good to eat!

    Oh, and m.toast - Pickled watermelon is available at some Price Choppers and maybe Hen House. (It’s amazing, y’all.)
