Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to stew tomatoes with onions and garlic in a frying pan? First of all, prepare all the necessary products. Choose tomatoes that are firm, elastic and juicy. You can use regular onions or take red salad onions. I used both types, so the finished dish became more colorful and appetizing.

Step 2

Peel the onion and garlic. Rinse tomatoes, herbs, onions and garlic under running cold water.

Step 3

Step 3
Cut the onion in half, and then cut each half into two or slightly more pieces to make large slices.

Cut the garlic into thin slices, as in the photo.

Add the chopped herbs to the tomatoes and add salt to taste. At this stage, you can add your favorite spices and seasonings. You can also use a little tomato paste for a more intense and rich taste (less than a tablespoon will be enough). Mix everything carefully and simmer over low heat with the lid closed for about 5 minutes.

Step 9
