What’s the difference between a hot house tomatoe and a regular one?
i use peanut oil instead of sesame (allergies) and omitted the sesame seeds and still amazing
Hi Sarah – so a hot house tomato is grown… in a hot house. Generally smaller than a beefsteak tomato and nice and red. If your local store doesn’t carry them then tomatoes on the vine are just as good. You just really want a nice ripe & red tomato here. I find beefsteak to be too big and more on the flavorless/colorless side.
