Step cooking
- Initially, you need to prepare a kilogram of cucumbers. You can use any cucumbers for snacks, but young ones that are more juicy and crispy are better. We thoroughly rinse them under running water and cut the tails on both sides. Each cucumber is first cut into 4 parts, then cut in half. If desired, cucumbers can be cut into slices rather than slices. Put the prepared cucumbers in a deep bowl.
- A large bunch of young dill is washed and finely chopped. You can also add cilantro or parsley to the snack. Sliced dill is sent to a bowl with cucumbers.
- Hot peppers are cleaned from seeds and cut into small pieces. If you like a spicier snack, then the amount of pepper can be increased, or, conversely, reduced if you do not like spicy dishes. Add pepper to cucumbers and dill.
- On a fine grater, rub 2-3 large cloves of garlic. It can also be passed through a press and sent to a bowl with the rest of the ingredients. In a bowl with cucumbers, add 1 full tablespoon of salt and 2 tbsp. l Sahara. Pour to all ingredients 2 tbsp. l vinegar 9%. If desired, vinegar can be replaced with a similar amount of lemon juice, but with vinegar, the appetizer is more savory.
- At the end, pour 50 ml of vegetable oil into the snack and mix everything thoroughly. You can take fragrant sunflower oil or flavourless, but then the snack will come out less saturated. Already in the process, mixing cucumbers and other ingredients begin to secrete juice.
- We cover the vessel with cucumbers with a lid or a flat plate and leave it at room temperature for 1-2 hours. It is better to let the cucumbers stand for longer so that more juice stands out, and the snack has become as saturated and tasty as possible.
- After 1-2 hours, the appetizer of cucumbers is completely ready, and it can be transferred to a beautiful dish. Serve appetizer with any side dish, meat or fish dishes.
