Since I don’t have a large frying pan, I cook in two small ones. If you have a large pot, the process will go faster. I divide the marinade between the pots and add the cucumbers.
If the cucumbers seem soft, I soak them in cold water for several hours – they will regain their freshness.
I put the pots on the stove, bring to a boil under the lid, then reduce the heat and cook the cucumbers for 25 minutes. The cucumbers will change color to olive and release juice.
After a while, I add garlic passed through a press – about a large head. If you prefer a less spicy taste, add less.
Mix the cucumbers with the garlic and cook for another 10 minutes.
All that remains is to place the cucumbers in jars, close them tightly and turn them over until they cool completely. Makes 7 jars of 550 ml from 3 kg of cucumbers. This snack can be stored at room temperature.
You can also not roll the cucumbers, but simply put them in a container and store in the refrigerator. This will be a great appetizer for any table.
Try it, I’m sure you’ll like it! I look forward to your feedback and comments.
