What to look for
Cooking lightly salted green vegetables involves following some rules:
- For salting, take fruits of the same size. This will enable all tomatoes to be salted at the same time, and the taste of the dishes will be the same.
- Do not put tomatoes of different ripeness in one pickling container. Green and brown ones need to be slightly salted separately. Each species requires its own concentration of brine.
- If you add salt to green tomatoes in a bag, do not add too many fruits. They will not be able to salt out evenly.
- When salting, be sure to make cuts or punctures on green tomatoes so that they are salted faster.
- Before cooking, prick green store-bought tomatoes and place in cold water for 30 minutes. This will get rid of some of the nitrates.
