I think tomatoes are probably the best thing that comes from the earth! Many years ago, I started making [herbs de Provence-seasoned] tumbled tomatoes as a simple snack and cocktail nibble. If you love tomatoes, you will love them. It is the simplest recipe but it is a favorite of nearly everyone I know. This is my South of the Border version made with Tequila and The Seasoned Pantry Gulf of Mexico salt and spices.
Serves 4-6
½ cup Blanco Tequila such as Herradura
2 pints cherry tomatoes
¼ cup The Seasoned Pantry Gulf of Mexico salt + spices
Toothpicks for serving
- Wash tomatoes in cold water and remove all excess water, but do not dry.
- Prick tomatoes with a toothpick so that the tequila can seep into the tomatoes.
- Toss tomatoes with tequila until they are evenly mixed. Refrigerate in a re-closeable freezer bag, and toss occasionally while being refrigerated.
- Serve chilled using the Bamboozle Prep ‘n Serve with toothpicks and a side bowl of The Seasoned Pantry Gulf of Mexico salt + spices for dipping.
