Ingredients for the garlic and herbs recipe:
Optional Ingredients - Optional:
* Or cumin (ground) - 1/3 tsp
My cucumbers, but not peeling. Ideally let the vegetables sit in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Cut off the butts and ends. Do not forget to try the cucumbers for bitterness, you never know.
Wash the dill, crush the water and chop finely with a knife. We prepare other greens in the same way.
Flatten the garlic cloves with a wide knife. This will make them easier to clean. Grind as convenient. We love to chop the garlic finely so that it feels like it is in the finished dish. But you can skip through a press or grate on a fine grater.
Slicing depends on the time that we are willing to wait until a lightly salted result.
Average time is relative, taking into account our taste for salinity. We advise you to always try and stop or continue the process to your liking.
In the process of salting, we keep cucumbers at room temperature.
After the specified time put in the refrigerator- for cooling before serving or for storage for 24 hours.
We love the fastest first thin circles recipe. Or cubes-quarters, when you have the patience to wait 1-1.5 hours.
Put salt, herbs and garlic in a bag. If using mustard and other ground spices, mix them with salt first.
We put the cucumbers in a bag and release the air from it. Leave a little for freedom of mixing, close the lock or tie in a knot.
Now gently shake the bag so that the cucumber pieces are mixed with the spices. We leave for the time, which is determined by the cutting (see just above).
Shake the ingredients during salting - 2-4 times!
These 5 minutes of effort will help the cucumbers to salt more evenly. Even if we salt thin circles, we still crush the contents 1-2 times in a short 15 minutes of salting.
At the end of salting out, we try, and not hold it for personal preference.
If not, chill in the refrigerator before serving.
There are two main details that we figured out while experimenting with the recipe.
1) Do not add a lot of salt at once.
For a small family (3-4 people) - 0.5-1 kg of cucumbers. Even the classic pickling varieties (Nezhinsky, Rodnichok, Far Eastern, etc.) do not crunch so appetizingly after a day of storage in the refrigerator. Of course they stay delicious! And yet, it is precisely the bright crunch that is a necessary highlight in an instant recipe.
2) It is more convenient and safer to use a jar instead of a bag.

General principles of cooking cucumbers in a bag
So, friends, the very fragrant and blessed time has come for lightly salted cucumbers. We draw your attention to the fact that the most crunchy and juicy cucumber is prepared exclusively in the country. Only here you can remove cucumbers right from the garden just before pickling.
A little advice: you need to salt extremely small and strong cucumbers, which have thin skin and "pimples". Thin skin quickly passes salt. Thanks to the tender and dense pulp, the fruits are salted evenly in 2-3 days. There are no salted areas inside, but the cucumbers still remain crispy.
The harvested harvest of cucumbers is carefully sorted out and revised. Yellow and tainted copies are removed. Cucumbers are sorted by size. When unfolding in bags, try to place cucumbers of the same size in one plastic container. Only then will the salting become more uniform.
The selected cucumbers are washed with cold water and dried with a towel. Ready-made sets of spices and herbs for pickling can be bought from grandmothers in the market or in a store. Each housewife has her own homemade set. It often includes dill and horseradish inflorescences, cherry and black currant leaves, tarragon. Horseradish, cherries and currants help keep the cucumber firm and crisp.
This method of harvesting cucumbers, like pickling in an ordinary plastic bag, has existed for a long time. Of course, history is silent about who was the first to start making pickled cucumbers in a package. But we will all say a tremendous thank you to the unknown culinary specialist! Like everything ingenious, this recipe is quite simple.
Classic recipe for cooking cucumbers in a bag
For this recipe, you need one kilogram of not too large cucumbers, a tablespoon of salt, and a bunch of dill. As you can see, there are only three ingredients - everything else will be superfluous. True, gourmets can be advised to supplement this recipe with 2-3 cloves of garlic.
The cucumbers are well washed, their "butts" are cut off from both ends. You can cut large cucumbers into several pieces 10-12 centimeters long. Finely chop the dill and garlic.
In a plastic bag, you put all the prepared cucumbers, garlic and dill, fill them with salt. Take a tablespoon without a slide. The bag ties up well. We recommend using two bags for strength.
So, the package of cucumbers will need to be shaken thoroughly so that all the herbs, garlic and salt are evenly distributed throughout the package. Be sure to put the bag of cucumbers in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours. During this time, it is advisable to take out the bag a couple of times and shake it for even salting. After the specified time, your quick salted cucumbers will be completely ready.
By the way, you yourself can understand this by the incredibly fresh and mouth-watering aroma that comes from the package. Cucumbers prepared according to this recipe are tasty, strong and crispy. By the way, lightly salted cucumbers are much healthier than salted ones, since they have much less salt and more preserved useful properties. They also insanely whet your appetite.
When the cucumbers are ready, remove them from the refrigerator, remove any excess salt with a paper towel, and serve immediately. The remaining cucumbers will need to be refrigerated.
The second classic recipe for cooking cucumbers in a bag
This recipe is slightly different from the previous cooking method, although the set of ingredients is generally similar. You will need several cucumbers (the total weight in the package should not exceed 1 kg), parsley, dill and any other according to your taste, a couple of garlic cloves, salt (a single spoon is usually taken per kilogram of cucumbers), a regular package.
Before starting pickling cucumbers in a bag, you will need to rinse them well and cut off all the ends. To make pickling in a bag, cucumbers of absolutely any varieties are suitable for you, so you can choose to your taste.
There is . To make your cucumbers very crispy, they will need to be kept in cold water for some time before salting. Cut the cucumbers into 4 pieces and soak them in a deep cup. This will help the cucumbers lose all bitterness. It is recommended to keep cucumbers in water from 30 minutes to 2 hours. If you keep it for more than 1 hour, be sure to change the water once.
While the cucumbers are soaking, you can prepare the rest of the curing ingredients. You take a small bunch of dill and parsley, rinse them under the tap, and finely chop them into a cup. It is not recommended to do this with a knife, since the leaves give off a lot of moisture and get wet quickly. It can also spoil the flavor of your greens.
In the same cup, you will need to squeeze out a couple of garlic cloves. They will add spice to the cucumbers. Of course, if you or your loved ones do not like garlic, you can safely exclude it from the recipe.
The soaked cucumbers are folded into a bag. Cooked salt and herbs are poured on top. We only used a couple of pinches of salt, as we salted 0.5 kg of cucumbers. Tie the bag, shake the entire contents thoroughly so that both the herbs and salt are evenly distributed over the cucumbers.
After that, the package with cucumbers is sent to the refrigerator for pickling. We recommend that you shake all the cucumbers a couple of times while they are salting. You can enjoy fragrant lightly salted cucumbers within 30 minutes after pickling. By the way, lightly salted cucumbers are much healthier than just salted ones, as they contain less salt and more useful vitamins.
Cooking cucumbers in a bag with dry mustard
Of course, no one is going to open America to you. However, if you have not tried cucumbers according to such a spicy recipe, it's time to do it right now. You will need a kilogram of cucumbers, a tablespoon of salt (if you prefer slightly salted cucumbers, put less salt), 2-3 cloves of garlic, parsley and dill, ground black pepper or a mixture of peppers to taste. And you will also need to put dry mustard and ground coriander (2-3 teaspoons) there.
Cooking begins with the fact that you wash the cucumbers and cut off their "butts". If the cucumbers are large, you cut them into circles 1.5-2 centimeters thick, and if small, then just lengthwise into 4 parts.
In a separate bowl, salt, garlic and herbs, as well as other spices are mixed. All this is put in a bag along with cucumbers, tightly tied and shaking well. After 40-60 minutes, your cucumbers will be ready. This is what the dry pickling method using mustard looks like. Cucumbers take on a special flavor, just try it!
Dry pickled cucumber
So you wanted to pickle cucumbers for the winter. This can be done without pickle right in the jar in a hurry. This is because a greenhouse effect appears under the plastic cover. Moisture is released from the cucumbers, after which the salt with spices quickly penetrates the cucumbers. For one liter jar of cucumbers, you will need 1 head of garlic, a couple of dill umbrellas and two tablespoons of salt.
You put the cucumbers in a jar and mix them with the garlic cloves. Add dill and salt there. Close the jar with a lid and shake it with all your might for several minutes. This is similar to how you made cucumbers in a bag and shaken them for a long time. Shake until you get tired yourself. Then the cucumbers are left at room temperature. They are ready in five hours. They may be ready earlier, depending on whether your home is hot or not. For example, if the cucumbers change color dramatically, it makes sense to try them again.
Another important point. If you do not shake off the salt from the lightly salted cucumbers, and leave them to rest in the jar, placing them in the refrigerator, the lightly salted cucumbers will continue to be salted and become salted, not lightly salted. Thus, if you really want a slightly salted taste, shake off all excess from ready-made cucumbers or rinse them in running water. After that, the cucumbers are stored in the refrigerator.
