Ingredients
| 4 | fresh tomatoes (large) | |
| 1 | cucumber | |
| 1 tsp | 5 ml | sea salt |
Instructions
- Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl and line it with cheesecloth (or a clean flour-sack towel).
- Blend or pulse the tomatoes, cucumber and salt until pulpy or finely chopped.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared strainer and refrigerate at least 8 hours, up to a day (don't press or stir the pulp, for a clear result).
- Discard the solids; keep the tomato water refrigerated in a sealed container up to 3 days (recipe can be doubled).
- Tip: use the leftover solids for pasta, salsa, soups or smoothies.
