Tips
Use ripe tomatoes for enhanced flavor.
Bell pepper and cilantro can be blended in a food processor for a paste.
Cilantro can be replaced with parsley or chives.
All seasonings are optional; feel free to customize.
Sugar helps balance the tomato's flavor.
The longer you refrigerate the tomatoes, the more flavorful they become.
For even more flavorful tomatoes, cook the bell pepper with garlic and add to tomatoes after frying.
