How to cook spicy lightly salted cucumbers.
To prepare lightly salted cucumbers in a saucepan, we begin by washing, peeling and grinding large cucumbers in a meat grinder.
Mix the resulting puree with salt.
Place horseradish leaves, 1/2 clove of garlic, dill and then about a third of the cucumber puree into the container. We “expose” the cucumbers vertically on it.
Then, again lay out the spices along with chili peppers, cucumber puree and a row of cucumbers. The preparation should end with cucumber puree.
Pour 1 tablespoon of salt on top and cover the pan with a lid.
Set aside in a dark and warm place for two days.If after this time the cucumbers are not salted enough, leave them for another 10-12 hours. This situation may occur if the room is too cold.
If you like celery, you can also pickle it in a jar along with cucumbers. Yes, and instead of a saucepan, you can safely use a regular jar.
It will be good if you find the opportunity to store the workpiece in the refrigerator. This will make it possible to avoid over-oxidation of products.
