Salted cucumbers in boiled water. Quick pickled cucumbers

Lightly salted cucumbers - excellent summer snack with or without reason. They are great to serve with boiled potatoes, skewers, fried chicken, and any other dishes; use as a component for salads, and just crunch for pleasure.

I'm not talking about how good they are for strong drinks - you simply cannot find better snacks!

Ways to prepare such an appetizer simply can not be counted. And all because the people's love for this business is too great. In addition, when they grow in their own beds, and you shoot them every day in a bucket, then all that remains is to preserve them and lightly salt them. Because to overpower them in other ways is simply not possible.

But if conservation is a responsible and long process, then salting them quickly is just what you need. Therefore, they are salted in pots, jars, and simply in bags. Salted in the evening, and in the morning you can already serve it on the table. And there are super fast ways, thanks to which they can be served at the table in half an hour. These are the methods of salting in packages, beloved by many, or express methods.

In today's article, we will consider such quick methods just today. Of course, we cannot reflect all of them in one article, since there are just a lot of them! But at least the most basic and popular ones need to be known.

The most convenient way to cook lightly salted cucumbers in a saucepan. Fruits of any size are suitable for this, but it is still best to take medium or small specimens. Firstly, because they will pickle faster, and secondly, because their skin is much more tender and therefore they themselves will turn out crispy and not soft.

In addition, in large fruits, rather large seeds are formed inside, and all the taste of the pulp is given to them. Therefore, large specimens can be salted, but only when there are no others.

We will need:

• cucumbers - 10 pieces (medium size)
• horseradish leaf - 1 pc.
• dill - 4 umbrellas (2 - 3 sprigs)
• garlic - 2 cloves
• red capsicum - to taste
• black peppercorns - 7 pcs

For filling:

For 1 liter of water - 1 tbsp. a spoonful of salt

Cooking:

1. Wash fresh strong fruits, cut off the ends. If they are solid, then they can be used immediately. And if the fruits are sluggish, then they must be poured for 3 - 4 hours cold water. During this time, they will be saturated with water and after salting they will be hard and crispy.

2. Thoroughly rinse the greens. I always take dill by eye, only their approximate amount is given in the composition of the ingredients. You can use any of its parts - the umbrellas themselves, and the stem, and their openwork foliage. If the dill bush is large, then the stem must be cut.

In general, it is better to use different parts of it. It will be better for both taste and aroma.

3. Peel the garlic. Cut it into thin slices.

4. If you like spicy snacks, then cook a piece of red capsicum. Personally, I always add it to pickles, at least, at least in lightly salted ones. I add quite a bit, so that when eating the finished product you don’t feel it at all. But it leaves its own little taste mark.

5. Put a pot of water on the fire. If the fruits are not very large, then a liter should be enough. But even if it’s not enough, then it’s better to boil a little more later.

6. As soon as the water boils, pour salt into it and mix. If you want to add a little sweet note, then add one and a half tablespoons of sugar.

7. In the meantime, the water is boiling on the stove, put all the cooked ingredients in layers in the pan. Put some greens down, then cucumbers, and the remaining greens.

In principle, it does not matter how you distribute the ingredients. But it is desirable that a little horseradish and dill be on top. They need to sort of cover the top layer.

saucepan big size for such a quantity of fruits it is not necessary to take. Otherwise, more brine will be needed. See that after laying out the cucumbers in the pan, there is enough space left for him.

In addition, it will be inconvenient to put a large pan in the refrigerator, it will take up all the free space there.

8. Well, everything is laid out, and by this time we have already prepared the pickle. It must be salty. When you add salt, do not be afraid that there may be a lot of it.

Pour the boiling brine into the filled pot. It should completely cover all its contents. If the filling was not enough, then boil another half liter of water and add a tablespoon of salt after boiling. Add as many as you need.

9. Prepare a saucer the size of the inside of the pan and place it on top so that it plays the role of oppression and crushes all the contents.

10. Leave at room temperature overnight. In the morning, our lightly salted cucumbers are ready. Especially if they are small. If they are larger, they will need a little more time.

11. But no matter how it was, in the morning you need to put the pan with the contents in the refrigerator. The salting process will take place there as well. But in the refrigerator, the brine will retain its transparency. If you leave it at room temperature, then soon it will begin to become cloudy and sour. And the fruits will also acquire a sour taste.

That's basically it! Cucumbers can be eaten and enjoyed with their crunchy content and pleasant taste.

And here is a video on how you can cook your favorite snack in a saucepan.

Snack cucumbers cooked in a bag for 1 hour

This version of salting is incredibly loved by the people, and in this way they are cooked at home, in the country, and even at work. And those who went out into nature generally consider it the best. As soon as the first fruits ripen in the gardens, they are harvested, and after eating a few fresh ones, they immediately take up the packages.

According to this recipe, by the way, you can salt not only in the bag, but also in plastic container. The effect can be achieved exactly the same, and even much faster.

But today we are salting in a bag, so we are preparing it. Yes, not one, but two, for better strength. So that our cucumbers do not inadvertently jump out of the package.

And I almost forgot to say that this method is not only very tasty, but also the fastest. After our product has been salted, after 40-60 minutes it can already be eaten in full ready-made. And it must also be said that it is so simple that it is unlikely that it will be possible to find something even simpler.

We will need:

• cucumbers - 500 gr
• garlic - 1 - 2 cloves
• dill - half a bunch
• horseradish - 0.5 sheet
• pepper - to taste
• salt - to taste

Cooking:

Medium-sized varieties are best suited for this method. Moreover, they can salt not only ordinary small vegetables, but also long salad varieties. They are long and thin, and this is just good, it means they will be salted faster.

1. Wash the fruits, cut off the ends on both sides and cut. This can be done in different ways, you can cut them lengthwise into 2-4 parts, depending on the size. And you can cut them into medium-sized circles, or cubes. It also depends on their size.

The smaller you cut them, the faster the salting time.

A feature of this method is just that the vegetable is necessarily cut. How you do it doesn't make much of a difference. The main thing is that the pieces are not too big or too small.

2. Chop the garlic as finely as possible, this is important. We need garlic juice, which will quickly penetrate the pulp of the fruit. Therefore, for this, you either need to chop the garlic very finely, or use a garlic press.

3. We also need to cut the dill smaller. For this recipe, only the tender parts of the dill are needed, the coarse stems are separated and removed. If in other methods of salting you can use any of its parts, then only openwork twigs are suitable here.

And lovers can still add a little parsley for taste and aroma.

4. Tear half a sheet of horseradish with your hands into small fragments, so that later you can easily remove them.

Sometimes there is no horseradish, so nothing terrible will happen if we do not add it. When we salt cucumbers in this way at work, no one even remembers about it.

5. Salt the fruits, as for salad, so that they can be eaten. They should be fairly salty. To determine if there is enough salt, the chopped sticks must be mixed and be sure to try.

If the taste suits you, then just take another pinch of salt and pour it into our workpiece. We are preparing lightly salted cucumbers, not a salad, so you need a little more salt than for a salad.

6. Now that everything is cut and prepared, you can add all the components in plastic bag. Rather, in two packages, one must be inserted into the other. Then you will understand why such manipulation is needed.

7. Yes, almost forgot. Add some more pepper. I really like to crush two or three peas of black pepper for this and add them. The aroma in this case will be simply stunning.

But if you don't want to mess around, just add a pinch of regular ground pepper.

8. Now the fun begins. Twist the bag and shake it very vigorously with up and down movements so that all the components are mixed, and juice should appear.

9. Let it lie down in this state for about 10 minutes, and then shake it again. After that, draw air into the bag, you can even inflate it there and tie it tightly. Remove to refrigerator.

An hour later, our delicious and fragrant snack is ready. Feel free to serve it on the table and treat everyone present.

If there is no refrigerator, then at room temperature you can keep the snack for not an hour, but 30-40 minutes, periodically shaking the bag again.

The finished product is best to eat immediately. When it lies for a long time, it loses its taste. Garlic smell and aftertaste begins to prevail. And the cucumbers themselves lose their shape, because the juice flows out very intensively. And their taste becomes watery. Therefore, lightly salt them in a bag for one, maximum two times.

But it is still desirable to eat them on the same day.

Cherry tomatoes can be salted in the same way. To do this, they need to be pricked with a toothpick. And the time for salting will take 24 hours. But they turn out to be simply incomparable.

This is such a great and fast way. To prepare such an appetizer of time - you need everything - nothing. Cut everything, but shake it, that's the whole story.

And such cucumbers can be pickled in just 10 minutes. Watch the video from our YouTube channel.

It's so fast and easy!

Lightly salted cucumbers in hot brine overnight

It will take exactly one night to salt our green vegetables in this way. That is, if you pickle them in the evening, then in the morning you can already eat them with might and main, especially if you use small specimens.

We will need:

• cucumbers - for 3 liter jar(how much is included)
• dill - 8 umbrellas (or 1 large bush)
• currant leaf - 8 pcs
• cherry leaf - 8 pcs
• horseradish - 1 sheet (small)
• garlic - 2 cloves
• black pepper - 10 pcs
• allspice - 3 pcs
• red capsicum - to taste and spiciness
• clove buds - 6 pcs

For brine:

• water - 1.5 liters
• salt - 3 tbsp. spoons
• sugar - 2 tbsp. spoons

Cooking:

I will pickle cucumbers in a three-liter jar, but you can also pickle in a saucepan. It’s just that everything can be packed very compactly and tightly in a jar, but in a saucepan you will need more space. But this will not affect the quality in any way, so choose the capacity yourself.

1. Wash the fruits and cut off the ends. Let me remind you that if they are small and plucked, for example, in the morning, and you cook them in the evening, then soak them in water for 3 hours. This is provided that you did not immediately put them in the refrigerator. The same applies to purchased items.

Otherwise, they will not turn out crispy and dense. It's summer now, and cucumbers under the influence of heat quickly lose moisture. And moisture is very important for everything to work out as it should.

2. Wash the greens and immediately put them all on a plate so that you don’t forget anything later. Today I did not have currant leaves, and I decided to replace them with raspberry leaves. Of course, I will not achieve a smell, but I will be able to maintain rigidity.

Dill can be used not only in umbrellas, but also take a whole bush, along with the stem. If he large size, then you can cut it as you need.

Tear the horseradish leaf into smaller pieces.

3. Prepare spices, too, all at once in one place, so as not to forget anything. I use red spicy pepper. It comes in varying degrees of severity, this must be taken into account. My pepper is very spicy and therefore I take it quite a bit - a little.

Peel the garlic and cut into thin slices.

4. We will need a three-liter jar. It must be thoroughly washed with soda and rinsed with boiling water.

5. Now that we have everything ready, we will put everything in a jar. Put the fruits very tightly to each other in the first layer. If the last of them has to be squeezed in, then this must be done. The denser we lay them out, the less brine we need.

Lay out larger specimens down, smaller ones on top. Small ones will pickle faster, and we eat them faster. In the meantime, the essence, but the point, the lower ones will already arrive in time.

6. Then put some different greens and some garlic.

7. Then cucumbers again, you can have two layers at once. And again greens, garlic and half of the whole pepper, along with red. In the middle - it's the place.

8. And so, alternating layers, fill the jar to the very neck. I have medium-sized samples and there are much more of them in the jar than I expected. And it wasn't even enough. I had to run to the greenhouse with a flashlight and look for them there in the dark.

9. Be sure to put the remaining peppercorns and herbs on top. Excellent, everything turned out very nice. And tomorrow it will be delicious!

10. Boil water, as it boils, add salt and sugar. Wait for them to dissolve and boil again. Pickle, and it is also called brine - ready.

11. Pour it into a jar under the very neck. It took me about 1.4 liters. But this amount will depend on how tightly you folded all the cucumbers.

12. Cover the jar with a saucer, if they want to jump out, then put a liter jar of water on top.

13. Leave the jar in the kitchen at room temperature until morning.

14. In the morning you can see that they have changed their color. This means that they are ready. And you can take a sample.

15. After trying, put the jar in the refrigerator and store it there. At any time of the day or night, cold crispy cucumbers are waiting for you to get them and taste them.

By the evening, larger specimens will also come up. Therefore, boil potatoes or fry meat. An incredible dinner awaits you!

3. Wash and dry the limes. Then grate the zest, only its green part.

Add the zest to the mortar and grind it together with the pepper. You can feel the scent. Here also, and maybe our cucumbers will smell even better.

4. Squeeze the juice from the remaining limes into a separate container.

5. Mint and dill cut into smaller pieces. If the dill has very thick stems, then it is better to cut them off. If they are small, and most importantly not hard, then cut them too.

6. Transfer the fruits to a bowl. Pour juice over them and sprinkle with spices. Then gently mix so that the sticks remain intact.

7. Let stand like this for 30 minutes. After this time, they are ready and they can be served at the table.

Salted with garlic and herbs in soy sauce

This recipe differs from all the others in that it uses soy sauce and lots of greenery. In the original, dill and cilantro are taken. But I know that not everyone can tolerate the smell of cilantro, and will not even eat other greens that just lay nearby.

Therefore, if you belong to just such people, then replace cilantro with parsley. Or just add one dill, as I did in today's version.

We will need:

• cucumbers - 1 kg
• garlic - 5 - 6 pcs
• dill - 1 bunch
• cilantro (parsley) - 1 bunch
• soy sauce - 200 ml
• olive or sunflower oil - 1 teaspoon
• vinegar - 1 teaspoon (incomplete)
• sugar - 1 teaspoon
• ground red pepper - to taste (a pinch)
• salt - 1 teaspoon
• sesame - 2 - 3 tbsp. spoons

Cooking:

1. Wash the fruits and cut off the ends on both sides. Cut them into 4 parts, and if the vegetables are long or pot-bellied, then you can cut them into 6-8 parts. In general, cut so that you immediately take a piece and put it in your mouth as a whole, or so that it is enough for two bites.

Salt on top, mix and let stand for a while.

Prepare the ingredients right away so that everything is at hand.

2. Put the sticks in a saucepan or bowl.

3. Rub the garlic on a fine grater. If you crush it with a press, or finely chop it, then it will be felt, and grated will be just right. It will completely connect with all other components and will not stand out in any way.

4. Finely chop the greens. If she has thin enough stems, then chop them as well, but if they are large, then it is better to remove them.

5. Pour the sesame seeds into a bowl or deep plate. Pour in soy sauce, vinegar and oil. Mix everything. Let stand for a while so that the seeds are nourished.

Vinegar must be added with caution. It's just that everyone has different tastes, and that's why it's hard to please everyone. So add as you wish.

By the way, you can use it together lemon juice. It will even be more natural that way. In addition, we will acquire another wonderful aroma.

6. Pour greens, garlic and black pepper into a saucepan, mix everything well. Then pour in the liquid component with sesame seeds and mix again.

7. In principle, that's all! Now just put the saucepan in the refrigerator, closing it with a lid. And after 4 - 6 hours, our salted cucumbers with herbs, in soy sauce are ready.

Very tasty! As it turned out, soy sauce goes well with the hero of our today's story.

You can store them in a jar in the refrigerator. We kept for a week and nothing happened to them. Throughout the entire period of storage, they remained tasty and appetizing.

Cold and fast method on mineral water

And there is also this one interesting way salt the cucumbers. This so-called cold way salting. Of course, you can also use ordinary cold water, and preferably spring water.

And you can like this, with mineral water.

Mineral water must be carbonated. It is the gas bubbles that contribute to the salting process occurring quickly enough.

Delicious beautiful cucumbers can be eaten the very next day.

Ambassador in a fast way without color loss

I heard that cucumbers can be pickled in such a way that they do not lose their color. I've always wondered how this could be done.

And then one day I came across such a recipe, which just described how to do it. And you know what the secret was - vodka was added to the brine! That's the way it is!)

Yes, and they are salted in a barrel. Although you can pickle them in a saucepan.

I give the recipe in the form in which it came to me. The proportions here are quite large, but I decided not to change them. Someone wants to salt only half a kilogram of fruits, someone 3, and someone all 10. Therefore, I thought that everyone was taught at school how to work with proportions, and everyone will be able to calculate the required number of kilograms and grams for themselves .

We will need:

• cucumbers - 10 kg
• dill - 320 gr
• currant leaf - 320 gr
• horseradish leaf - 170 gr
• chopped garlic - 20 gr

For brine:

• water - 7 liters
• salt - 320 gr
• vodka - 150 ml

It is very convenient to salt a kilogram of vegetable for testing. In this case, the weight of all other ingredients is simply divided by 10.

Cooking:

1. Wash the fruits and cut off both ends. Take not very large specimens, their skin is more tender and they turn out to be more tasty because of this. Brine through a thin skin better nourishes the inner pulp.

Prepare immediately all the greens so that it is at hand.

2. Put the cucumbers in a barrel, shifting them in layers with herbs and garlic.

The top layer must be green.

3. Boil water and add salt to it. As soon as the salt dissolves, pour in vodka and immediately turn it off.

4. Pour the hot brine into the barrel. Press down the contents with a not very heavy oppression, just a flat plate will be enough.

5. You can eat them the next day.

But on the same day they will need to be removed to the basement. I think that not every house has a barrel and a cellar. Therefore, we salt our vegetable in a saucepan and store it in the refrigerator.

I myself love it when there is plenty to choose from. When you try to cook different recipes, among them there will certainly be one that you will love the most.

But how many people, so many opinions, especially when it comes to taste. What I like best doesn't necessarily have to please someone else.

So try it and look for your recipe. Our summer is long, and so what - what, and cucumbers are always born in in large numbers. Therefore, you can try a lot of different options.

And I end here. And I want to wish everyone that you always get only the most delicious cucumbers!

• salt - 1 tbsp. l.
• sugar - 1 tsp
• black peppercorns - 5-8 peas
• sesame oil - 1 tbsp. l.

Cooking:

By themselves, cucumbers do not have a pronounced taste and smell. To make them fragrant, they must be saturated with the aromas of spices.

Cucumbers are washed, dried, sorted by size. We try to take the same size, so they will salt evenly, and the aesthetic appearance of food plays an important role. And they should also be pimply, with dense pulp and without voids inside. We cut off the tips of the cucumbers and cut them lengthwise into four parts.

Young garlic, divided into cloves. We crush them with the flat side of the knife, sprinkle with a little salt and chop finely and finely.

Cut the dill greens. It is better to take soft stems, they have more juice. Also sprinkle with a little salt and finely chop. Juice and aroma of dill stand out instantly.

This recipe calls for pouring hot water: it turns out faster, but the cucumbers crunch a little less than with cold pickling. Getting vegetables out of a jar is not as convenient as out of a pan, but oppression is not needed. Well, the jar does not need to be sterilized.

• cucumbers (how many will fit in a three-liter jar);
• 5 cloves of garlic;
• 3 tablespoons of salt;

The peculiarity of this method is in the absence of brine: cucumbers are salted in own juice and as a result, excellently crunchy. It is convenient to store the package in the refrigerator, you can even put it in a drawer for vegetables and fruits.

Ingredients

• 1 kg of cucumbers;
• 1 tablespoon of salt;
• 1 head of garlic;
• 1 bunch of basil and dill;
• 2-3 peas of allspice;
• 5-7 black peppercorns.

Cooking

Wash cucumbers. If they had time to lie down, fill them with cold water for a couple of hours. If only from the garden, just pierce in several places with toothpicks.

Wash the greens, peel the garlic and cut it all, but not too finely. If households do not favor basil, use cherry or grape leaves.

Put greens with garlic on the bottom plastic bag. You can use baking bags: they are stronger.

Lay cucumbers on top. Peppercorns - black and fragrant - crush with a knife so that it gives off its aroma. Sprinkle them and salt on the cucumbers. Seal tightly and shake the bag to mix the ingredients.

Put the bag in the refrigerator for 3-5 hours, and preferably overnight.
