Pickled cucumbers in a bag

Lightly salted cucumbers in a package - a few hours and you enjoy the taste of a simple but wonderful snack. We propose to pickle cucumbers in this very “dry” way. As a result, they turn out to be crispy, perfectly saturated with the aromas and flavors of garlic, pepper, dill. And you don’t need to wash the dishes after cooking: just throw away the bag from under the cucumbers and forget about it. Conveniently! Lightly salted cucumbers in a bag can be served with hot dishes of meat, poultry, fish, or simply with boiled potatoes.

Cooking

Step 1

Prepare fresh cucumbers for pickling in a bag. To do this, wash them with running water, then put them in a wide bowl or saucepan and fill with cold water so that the fruits are completely covered. Leave for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Remove cucumbers from water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut off the ends. Fold in a tight plastic bag, after making sure that there are no holes in it.

Step 3

Prepare spices for making lightly salted cucumbers in a bag. Wash the dill sprigs and dry them thoroughly on a paper towel. Then chop coarsely. Peel and chop the garlic. Stir in chopped dill.

Step 4

Add the prepared dill and garlic to the cucumber bag. Place the peppercorns in a mortar and crush with a pestle. Rub with salt and sugar. Also add to the bag with dill and garlic cucumbers.

Step 5

Tie the bag tightly and shake well for 3 minutes. Leave at room temperature for approximately 1 hour. Shake the bag from time to time so that the cucumbers are salted evenly.

Step 6

Then put the package with cucumbers in the refrigerator for about 3 hours. Remove the resulting lightly salted cucumbers from the bag, place on a plate and serve.
