Macaroni with tomato

The introduction

Hello everyone, I hope, that you are all doing just fine.

In this article I want to tell you about this recipe, which is a very delicious one and people often prepare this dish in Georgia, if you want to know the truth.

Well, this dish is called soup with macaroni and tomatoes and it's a very light and goo one, to tell you the truth. And, besides, you can even have it without too much water and have the dish not as a soup, but something like a dry dish with macaroni and tomatoes. And it's a pretty cheap dish and it can last long and it's for plenty of people, I must say. This is not a time consuming or difficult dish to prepare, so that you can just prepare it in no time at all.

So that, let me tell you about the preparation of this dish.

Ingredients:

• Onion, 1 medium
• Tomato, 1 medium
• Oil, 1-2 tablespoon
• Macaroni or vermicceli or small pieces of macaroni, 1/2 cup
• water or Chicken stock, 1.5 litre
• Peppermint to taste (optional)
• Butter, 1 tablespoon
• Salt to taste
• Ground black pepper to taste

Preparation process

So, as I have already told you, the preparation process is just very simple and not very time consuming.

First of all, you need to peel that onion and have it chopped and I usually do that with my chopper blender and it's really easy to do that, because usually you have to cut the onion with the knife and if it's too hot, then you will have the tears in your eyes, which is not that comfortable while chopping the onions, you know. and everyone hates doing that for that reason.

After you have chopped the onion, you should have it in an oiled frying pan and you should cook it for a couple of minutes until the onion pieces get golden in colour.

In the meantime, you can prepare the tomatoes. I mean, you should have the tomatoes peeled and then blendered in a blender and I usually do that with my chopper blender, which is a pretty great thing for doing such things. Well, if you don't have the fresh tomato, you can just buy that can of peeled and cut tomatoes, that is not that expensive at all and you can just blender them and add them to the onion pieces in the frying pan and cook them together that way.

After some time of cooking , you can add some hot water or chicken stock to the tomatoes and onions and, well, to be honest, I usuallly add the water to the dish and not that chicken stock and if i want it to have that chicken taste, I just have those Galina Blanca cubes into some hot water and dissolve them in there.

You should have the dish boiled and after that you can add the macaroni to it and have the macaroni cooked in there. It can take 20 to 25 minutes for the macaroni to get cookedand it's just that, if you want to know the truth.

Well, you can take a frying pan and add some butter to it and heat it and then add some chopped peppermint and add some ground black pepper to it and cook them together for a minute or so and add that mixture to the dish .

To tell you the truth, you can just add the dried peppermint or ground mint to the dish and add the ground black pepper, too and that will just be it, you won't have to cook those things together, when it's not that necessary and, if you ask me, that is not necessary at all.

Well, after that half an hour or so, the dish is ready and you can turn the gas off and have the dish set aside. You should put the lid on and have it like that for some time, because itis more delicious, when it's assembled and it needs some time for assemblling , if you want to know the truth.

Anyways, you should prepare this dish if you want an inexpensive delicious dish to have at home and, at the same time, it's pretty refreshing, because it's just this soup and you always need some soups in your daily life. To tell you the truth, it's like getting an oxygen that you need some soups in your diet. And, besides, if you don't like soups, you can just skip that part, where you add the water or chicken stock or something like that to the dish and you can just have those peeled and cut and blendered tomatoes added and the dish won't be soup in that case, but it will be something like macaroni with some tomato sauce or something like that and it will be a great idea, too. It's a pretty easy dish to prepare and it's a pretty cheap one, too.

So that, anyways, prepare this dish and enjoy your cooking!
