I bring to your attention a simple way of cooking lightly salted cucumbers.
There are of course nuances and variations.
For example, if you want cucumbers to be ready in a day, then you need to trim the edges and pour boiling water over the cucumbers.
There is a longer option, but cucumbers will be salted more evenly and will retain more vitamins. There is no need to trim the edges and fill it with cold water. Then the cucumbers will be ready in two to three days, depending on the temperature in your kitchen.
I have given in the recipe the simplest ingredients that everyone always has at home. But you can vary them as well. They also put horseradish leaves, tarragon branches. Someone also adds a carnation. Even more often they put dill caps than ordinary dill, they have a stronger aroma.
There are recipes for even faster cooking of lightly salted cucumbers, generally in 4 hours. To do this, they need to be cut into 4 parts and salted in a bag, because of this they become very salty very quickly. But they need to be given a lot of attention, often shaken.
Even before cooking, cucumbers can be allowed to lie in water for 2 hours. They will be salted faster this way and the harmful additives contained will come out of them at the same time.
Lightly salted cucumbers are delicious by themselves. They are also perfect for any potato dishes. And they are also part of such popular salads as vinaigrette and olivier.
Bon appetit!
For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
