معجون الطماطم

We wash the tomatoes well, cut them, and remove the cores.

We blend the tomatoes using a blender or a hand blender.

We strain the mixture through a fine strainer to remove the skins and seeds.

We place the strained juice in a large pot over high heat until it begins to boil.

We skim off the white foam that appears on the surface.

We let the juice boil until it thickens slightly to shorten the drying time.

We add the coarse salt and stir.

We pour the mixture into wide trays and place them under direct sunlight.

We leave it for a full day until it dries and firms up.

We pack it into sterilized glass jars and add a thin layer of oil on top for preservation.
