"Roses" from tomato
Spiral cut the skin of the tomato with one strip to the petiole, starting from the base. The thinner the strip, the more evenly it can be wrapped. The tomato must be ripe, but strong. Unroll the strip into a flat spiral, laying it with the pulp down on the table. Then collect the strip into the rose, using the wide part as the base. Similar "roses" can also be prepared from the skin of cucumber, strips of boiled beets, carrots, salted fish.
