 35 calories, per item | Hints & Tips: The use of tomato in Greek cuisine is very common. Greek dishes contain tomato crushed, diced or thinly sliced. It is much better to use fresh tomatoes rather than canned. If tomatoes are tasteless (these days many tomatoes do not have taste and are ripe) add a spoon of sugar when cooking to sweeten them. If their skin is thick and hard to peel, drop them for a couple of minutes into hot water and their skin will be easier removed. If in some recipes the juice of the tomato is not required, cut the tomato in the middle and remove the seeds. |
