At first glance, it may seem that there is nothing easier to grind the cucumbers. This is partly true if you know some of the rules and secrets. Without knowing them, a snack may not live up to expectations, be bitter, sluggish, sour and tasteless.

So that you do not get into an awkward situation in front of family members who have been patiently waiting for several hours, or even days, when it will be possible to eat cucumbers, I will reveal to you the secrets of the ideal salted salt.

First, soaking. If the crop was just harvested from the garden, then you can do without it. If the cucumbers lay for more than 2 days or were bought in a store, then it is better to soak them before salting for 20 minutes in icy water... This will harden them before cooking, making them firm and juicy.

Secondly, the variety of cucumbers. Choose better "pickling" varieties. They usually do not fall apart and keep their shape. long time after salting. They should be medium in size and bright green in color. Main collateral perfect cucumbers- a firm fruit with a thin skin.

Third, salt. Basically, there are about 1-3 tablespoons per liter of water, depending on your preference. It is better to choose coarser salt, otherwise the fruit pulp may soften.

Fourth, spices. Don't overdo it with garlic - too much garlic can adversely affect the crunch of vegetables. But horseradish, on the contrary, gives a unique crunch. An excellent choice will add fresh dill, its umbrellas, basil and cilantro to the marinade. Apple, currant and cherry leaves will also complement the bouquet of aromas.

Fifth, the correct calculation. It should be laid out in three layers. The first is herbs and spices. The second is cucumbers. The third is herbs and spices. Do not tamp the vegetables too hard, or the fruit may be damaged, which will negatively affect the crunch and texture.

Another small but very valuable advice... To avoid mold on the brine surface, sprinkle a little mustard powder on top.

Today we will look at fast and delicious ways lightly salted cucumbers. Each of them is good in its own way. So that my loved ones don't get boring with some cucumbers, I cook each of these recipes in turn.

I love pickling in a bag because such an appetizer is very crispy, aromatic and keeps its shape perfectly. The shelf life is only a few hours, and storage in a bag saves space in the kitchen.

For dry salting, I use minimal amount ingredients so as not to overdo it with the bouquet. After all, each of them directly feeds vegetables without dissolving in water.

Ingredients:

• 1 kilogram of cucumbers;
• 1 tablespoon of coarse salt
• half a tablespoon of granulated sugar;
• fresh dill (you can use both herbs and a hat);
• 3 large cloves of garlic;
• 2 plastic bags.

For this method of pickling, medium-sized fruits are suitable - no more than 1 centimeter. If you only have large specimens in stock, then it is better to cut them into several pieces.

Cut off the ends of cucumbers and pierce them with a fork in several places so that they are quickly saturated with the marinade. If you cut them into pieces, then the punctures do not need to be done. Place the cucumbers in the packaging bag.

Chop the greens thoroughly. Cut the garlic into rings or halves. Add them to the cucumber bag. Season with salt, sugar and tie a bag, releasing air.

Put another bag on top to avoid leakage of secreted juice. Shake well so that the ingredients are evenly distributed over each cucumber. After 3-4 hours, the appetizer is ready.

Bon Appetit!

6. 2 bell peppers of different colors;
7. 2 dill caps;
8. 4 tablespoons of coarse iodized salt

Rinse and wipe the vegetables thoroughly. If they were not just removed from the bush, then they need to be soaked for several hours (or better overnight) in cold water.

Peel and cut the garlic into wedges.

Divide all stored spices and garlic into two parts. The first will go to the bottom of the saucepan. Spread out on top bell pepper... You can cut it into pieces, or you can salt it whole.

Lay the cucumbers on top and cover with the second part of the spices again.

Stir the salt in cold water until the grains dissolve as much as possible. Pour a saucepan with this solution.
