Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tomatoes:
- Begin by washing the cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Gently pierce each tomato 2 or 3 times with a small skewer. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the tomatoes perfectly.
-
Marinate with Tequila and Limes:
- Place the prepared tomatoes in a bowl. Squeeze the juice of the limes over the tomatoes, ensuring they are well-coated. Then, pour in the tequila, covering the tomatoes completely.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together. For optimal taste, consider marinating the tomatoes overnight, stirring them once or twice during the marination process.
-
Serve with Coarse Salt and Lemon Peel:
- When ready to serve, drain the excess tequila from the tomatoes. Arrange the marinated tomatoes in a serving bowl, creating an inviting mound of flavor.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the coarse salt with the grated lemon peel. This zesty salt blend will complement the tangy sweetness of the tomatoes perfectly.
- Serve the Tequila Poppers alongside the coarse salt and lemon peel mixture for dipping. Be warned: these addictive poppers are sure to disappear quickly, so savor every flavorful bite!
Enjoy your Tequila Poppers and share the love with friends and family at your next gathering! π πΉπ
