Assorted vegetables for the winter
If the usual pickles-marinades are fed up, prepare a vegetable platter for the winter according to this recipe. He is good, as they say, in all respects! First of all, we note that the composition of the assortment can be adjusted at will (we have approximate proportions). That is, increase the amount of your favorite vegetables, if you want, reduce those that you do not really like, or even replace them with others. Well, if you leave everything as it is, this is also convenient if, for example, the taste preferences of loved ones differ. That way everyone gets what they love! Assorted vegetables are prepared very simply, so you can make such a preparation for the winter at least as part of a culinary experiment.
