And we prepared quick lightly salted cucumbers in mineral water, the recipe, as always, with photos. If anyone doesn’t yet know how to prepare these cucumbers, they can do it without difficulty. Now you will see for yourself how simple it is.

Quick lightly salted cucumbers with mineral water recipe

• 1 kg. young cucumbers
• 1 liter of mineral water
• 2 tbsp. small heaped tablespoons of salt
• 3-4 cloves of garlic
• dill umbrellas or a bunch of green dill

As you can see, the ingredients are very simple. I have a kilogram of small young cucumbers. I washed them under running water.

We also need dill and garlic. I had dill umbrellas, I will put them along with the sprigs; in my opinion, this dill is very aromatic and is perfect for pickling cucumbers.

I took 4 cloves of garlic. I peeled it and cut it into slices.

I will prepare lightly salted cucumbers in a three-liter jar. I have a kilogram and they will fit in this container and marinate quickly. But we tried to cook without utensils. Previously, we prepared lightly salted cucumbers in a bag; the cucumbers were aromatic and tasty. I also recommend it, the recipe with step-by-step photos can be found in the article “Lightly salted cucumbers.”

I put garlic and chopped dill at the bottom of a clean three-liter jar. If you don't have umbrellas, you can take a bunch of green dill.

I cut off both ends of all cucumbers on both sides.

There are not many cucumbers; 1 kg takes up a little more than half of a three-liter jar. You can optionally add twigs and leaves of currants or cherries, whatever you like. I'm not adding.

Next stage. I poured mineral water from a bottle into a liter jar. We need to dissolve two tablespoons of salt (slightly heaped) in a liter of mineral water.

Mineral water sizzles when salt is added. Everything can be seen in the photo. We added salt and dissolved it in mineral water.

Now fill the cucumbers with mineral water and salt. It is important to dissolve all the salt in the mineral water.

Leave the cucumbers to marinate for a day. I left the cucumbers in the room. Their color has changed, but they turned out so tasty and crispy.

A day has passed and the cucumbers are ready. They turned out lightly salted and crispy. Very tasty with potatoes. After marinating for a day, I put the cucumbers in the refrigerator. The recipe is quick and very successful.

This was my first time cooking cucumbers in mineral water and the recipe did not disappoint me. Everything works out quickly and simply. There is actually some addition, daily cucumbers taste better, but on the second day their taste changes. On the second day you couldn’t call them lightly salted, even though they were stored in the refrigerator.

The daughter gave flowers to her mother, they were also included in the frame, the daughter was pleased that the flowers were included in the photo. True, the children did not like these cucumbers; they prefer fresh cucumbers. And in winter, I prefer pickled cucumbers; you can see how to prepare them in the article “Crispy pickled cucumbers.” The kids really liked this recipe, but grandpa not so much. He says they are sweetish, but he is used to sour ones. But as they say, everyone has their own tastes.

Don't forget to click the social media buttons. Thank you

Today I’m also working on cucumbers all day. I have my own. The harvest is good. I collect several kilograms every day or every other day and process them immediately. I've already salted and marinated it. I also try to cook according to different recipes. There are old, proven ones that the family likes. Today I tried to make pickled cucumbers using your recipe. I signed the jar, we'll try it in winter.

I made lightly salted ones only in a bag. You can try that too. It turns out really tasty with potatoes and dill.

Flowers given by children look great on camera. The children tried. so that the photo is beautiful. they always come out well for you.

Thank you, Lena, a simple recipe. I'll try. My mother often cooks lightly salted cucumbers. I'll tell her how to cook them in mineral water.

Lightly salted cucumbers are the first course to go with new potatoes! Can't do without them! And also sour cream with garlic and dill to pour over the potatoes - yummy!

I agree that it may be tastier than new potatoes with lightly salted cucumbers (although I have loved them for a long time). But I prefer to add vegetable oil, and dill is a must!

We have our own dill - homemade and fragrant. And sometimes we also add vegetable oil, only the fragrant and fragrant one comes from the seed.

Yes, it’s just time to start conservation. Let's take note of the recipe.

Alexander, these are lightly salted cucumbers. They are not canned, but eaten immediately.

Yes, they are lightly salted, they are without vinegar and with a small amount of salt, so Alexander, these cucumbers are good right now, and not in winter. For the winter we will marinate and salt

Recipes for canned cucumbers for the winter are still to come, because ground cucumbers have just started coming out not so long ago. So first we’ll eat up some lightly salted food, and then we can close it for the winter!

The cucumbers were not lightly salted in mineral water, although I had heard about such a recipe. I’ll have to try cooking it this way and evaluate the taste of the cucumbers.

Alexander, I haven’t tried mineral water either, I’ve heard a lot, but I haven’t had to try it. An interesting fact is that mineral water begins to “boil” when salt is poured into it. But the mineral water is carbonated, yes.

Of course, it’s carbonated, and the water is loud, with added salt, precisely for this reason.

I understood everything, now I’m even more intrigued, I’ll probably try to cook it one of these days

Of course, cook, Slavyana. Anatoly shows us only the best and most proven recipes.

I also like medium-sized cucumbers lightly salted. Others will pick up “boars”, the taste is completely different, to say nothing of their “crunchiness”.

Natalya, we make lightly salted cucumbers, which are also often small, but we have our own cucumbers and very often they outgrow them. Then mom lightly salts them, as you put it, “wild boars”

Of course, they’re not so crunchy anymore, but they’re very tasty in salads or in pickle soup!!

That's right, if you buy at a market or store, you can choose them by size. And in the garden everyone goes to work. And such wild boars are primarily used for lightly salted vegetables.

There was no need to lightly salt the cucumbers in mineral water. Although, in truth, doctors are outraged when they use mineral water indiscriminately. Let’s say “Esentuki” is shown to a person, and he takes (a little salt on “Borjomi”), which will harm him. I’d rather lightly salt it with regular water. Good luck to all!

I don't like lightly salted cucumbers. But the recipe is very interesting. This is the first time I have seen mineral water used. I'll show the recipe to mom.

The recipe for lightly salted cucumbers in mineral water was told to my sister by a colorful seller of Odessa pickles at the famous Privoz. Apparently, she was in a very good mood at that moment. Thus, the recipe has been living in our house for two years, and every year we make such cucumbers in the summer.

Yes, lightly salted cucumbers should be eaten immediately. I really like it when they turn out crispy.

When they stop, the taste and appearance are completely different. That's why they're lightly salted, apparently.

I used to not like lightly salted cucumbers, but now I learned how to pickle them in a bag in 5 minutes, I really like these! Eaten instantly

This is definitely a great cucumbers in a bag recipe. But when they are lightly salted in brine it has a slightly different taste.

I’ve never tried making lightly salted cucumbers using mineral water. I was very interested in the recipe, and it was just the right time to pickle them. Thank you!

Why not try a new recipe during cucumber season? Especially when he deserves it. Good luck with your pickles!

Lightly salted cucumbers are a delight; once they appear in the garden, a week later you want to salt them and eat them with new potatoes. Sometimes I also add a small horseradish root, they become more fragrant and last longer. I will prepare it according to your recipe.

Step-by-step recipes with photos

The fruits are washed well from soil, if any has stuck to the cucumbers, and soaked for a couple of hours in cool water, possibly in a basin or large saucepan.

The greens are washed and dried on a paper towel. Cut it and press it a little with a knife for flavor. Place most of the chopped dill and parsley into a clean jar or suitable bucket. The chili pepper is washed, the seeds are removed and finely chopped. The pepper is sent to the greens. Cut the garlic cloves in half and add half to the rest of the ingredients.

Add cucumbers.

On a note!

You can cut off the ends of the cucumbers on both sides.

When all the fruits are placed in the jar, sprinkle the remaining herbs on top. Bay leaves are broken into several small pieces and placed in a jar. Place garlic cloves on top.

Pour table salt into the jar; there is no need to stir the contents.

Pour mineral water into the container. This must be done carefully so that the water does not splash throughout the jar, and all vegetables must be covered with water.

Place a plastic lid on the jar and leave at room temperature for 4-5 hours. You can increase the time by one hour if you want the cucumbers to have a saltier taste. Then, at the end of the time, they are put in the refrigerator or any cool place and kept overnight.

In the morning you can take the first sample. Before serving, the cucumbers can be sprinkled with chopped green onions and a little vegetable oil to give the green skin an attractive gloss.

Ingredients

Lightly salted cucumbers in mineral water - recipe

If the cucumber season has not yet arrived or, conversely, has already passed, you will have to purchase vegetables in the store. Pay attention here! For pickling, it is necessary to use cucumbers only with pimples and small sizes, because “giant” cucumber fruits with a smooth surface have practically no taste and aroma.

Let’s immediately prepare the rest of the necessary ingredients for pickling cucumbers. Peel the garlic and divide it into individual cloves. Wash the selected cucumbers and dill thoroughly and dry with a towel.

If you are not a fan of spicy food, then red chili peppers do not need to be used for pickling cucumbers. However, you can be sure that hot pepper will only improve the taste of lightly salted cucumbers. In addition, the hottest part of the chili pepper, the seeds it contains, is not used in our case. In any case, you should proceed from your own taste preferences.

Now take one liter of carbonated mineral water and add the required amount of sea salt to it. The salt added to the water should dissolve, but first a reaction must occur, releasing gas from the water, which resembles ordinary pop.

Meanwhile, prepare the cucumbers. All cucumber “butts” and “spouts” need to be cut off and discarded.

The washed and dried dill must be divided into separate branches, but not very finely. The chili pepper should be cut into thin rings, after which the seeds should be removed. As mentioned above, pepper seeds do not need to be used to pickle cucumbers for this recipe. Chop the peeled garlic cloves into small pieces.

Next, take a large saucepan or any other suitable container and evenly place dill sticks and sprigs on its bottom. Place cucumbers on top of the dill, sprinkling them with chopped garlic slices, as well as dill and chopped chili pepper. Next, the completed components should be filled with mineral water with dissolved sea salt. If some part of the salt has not dissolved and remains at the bottom, then this part of the salt does not need to be used.

After this, put the prepared cucumbers in brine in the refrigerator overnight. By the way, you can pickle cucumbers in this way in a regular plastic bag. In this case, before sending it to the refrigerator, the bag with cucumbers and mineral brine will need to be tied with a strong knot.

The next morning, the prepared cucumbers will be thoroughly soaked in brine and will be ready for use. Such juicy and tasty lightly salted cucumbers in mineral water will delight all pickle lovers.
