Step-by-step cooking of lightly salted cucumbers in a bag in pieces, a recipe with a photo:
1. Wash cucumbers and soak in cold water to cover them completely. Leave the gherkins for 15-20 minutes to absorb moisture. This will make them juicier and crispier. This procedure is especially important if the gherkins are slightly wilted, so the cold water will revive them.
2. Remove the cucumbers from the water and dry well with a paper towel. Cut off the ends on both sides and cut the fruits in any shape: lengthwise into 2-4 pieces or wide rings of 2-3 cm.
3. Take a bag and put the sliced cucumbers in it. Peel the garlic, finely chop and add to the gherkins.
4. Put allspice peas and bay leaves in pieces.
5. Wash the greens, dry them, chop them finely and send them to a bag with cucumbers. Add salt there.
6. Tie the bag into a knot and shake gently to distribute the salt and spices evenly. Send the cucumbers to the refrigerator to salt. To prevent the bag from breaking, take a second one for safety. Keep lightly salted cucumbers in a bag in chunks in the refrigerator for 1, 5-2 hours and taste. If it seems to you that the cucumbers are not salted enough, then leave them for another hour and taste again. You can add a little salt if necessary to speed up the salting process.
