Greetings, dear readers of the Oda Cooking blog! I present to your attention a cool recipe for pickled cucumbers with coriander. We know this spice from the preparation of meat dishes. Coriander is often added to pilaf. The recipe for pickled cucumbers with coriander came to us from the Caucasus. Coriander or, in other words, cilantro, is a healthy spicy herb with a specific aroma that gives the dish, be it meat or pickled vegetables, a special piquancy. But, I would like to make a reservation right away, not everyone will like cucumbers with coriander. Opponents of cilantro are unlikely to be able to eat such cucumbers.

So, pickled cucumbers with coriander do not require additional seasonings like peppercorns, bay or cherry leaves. You can safely take only seeds or coriander greens. To get started, try making one or two jars of pickled cucumbers - for testing. All of a sudden you don't like it. Otherwise, the recipe for the classic cucumber pickling scheme - after boiling water, add sugar and salt, stir the marinade. Add vinegar and pour boiling marinade over the ingredients in a jar. Banks may not be pre-sterilized, but, in my opinion, it is more reliable. Well, let's start cooking.

Cooking pickled cucumbers with coriander

For one three-liter jar of cucumbers, we need:

2.5-3 kg of fresh cucumbers
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
5-6 garlic cloves
20 gr green cilantro
20 gr dill greens
1 young horseradish leaf
for brine, taking into account 1 liter of water: 1 tablespoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 50 ml of vinegar 9%

Cooking:

Step 1. Wash the cucumbers thoroughly with cold water and soak for 2-3 hours, periodically renewing the water.

Step 2. Prepare jars and lids. Wash the jars with soda and sterilize in a way convenient for you (you can do without sterilization). Wash the lids and boil for 2-4 minutes in boiling water.

Step 3. Rinse the greens and spread them on a towel, let them dry a little. Peel the garlic and divide into cloves, you can cut into slices.

Step 4. Put the cucumbers in jars, shifting with spices, and pour boiling water over them for 5-10 minutes.

Step 5. After 5-10 minutes, drain the cucumber water from the jars into an enamel pan, boil, add sugar and salt. Stir the composition until the crystals are completely dissolved, turn off the gas and add 9% vinegar.

Step 6. Pour cucumbers in jars with boiling marinade. Put the jars in a prepared large saucepan or an enamel basin on a towel, pour water. Sterilize jars with cucumbers from the moment the water boils for 25 minutes.

Step 7. After 25 minutes, remove the jars from boiling water, turn them over onto the lids, wrap them in a blanket and let them cool slowly.

Happy pickling and see you soon!

Today's my recipe for cucumber salad with onions for the winter - with a very beautiful name: "Latgalian". I won’t say that this is how it is prepared in Latvia (Latgale is the eastern part of Latvia), but I know for sure from my experience that it turns out to be a very tasty preparation - cucumber slices with onions for the winter.

I confess, when I first read the recipe for Latgalian cucumber salad, I was first of all bribed by the fact that you can use large cucumbers for it, not necessarily even even ones. And it happens to me that just such specimens grow on the plot - you miss it in the garden by accident, and in a day it is already some kind of hero, not a cucumber.

Such large cucumbers are not very suitable for both food and canning as a whole, but for this salad for the winter of cucumbers with onions - quite. There will be nothing unusual in the preparation itself, everything is quite simple and fast. The only point: coriander is included in the marinade for such a Latgale cucumber salad.

This spice gives the salad a special taste, emphasizing the main ingredients very well. So do not ignore coriander when you prepare a salad of cucumbers and onions for the winter, this seasoning will not be superfluous there at all.

Ingredients:

2.5 kg of cucumbers;
1 kg of medium-sized onions;
100 g of sugar;
100 ml 9% vinegar;
100 ml of vegetable oil;
1 tablespoon coarse salt;
3 teaspoons ground coriander;
8-9 tablespoons chopped parsley

*The indicated amount of ingredients makes approximately 3.5 liters of salad.

Canned cucumber salad with onions for the winter:

Cucumbers for this salad should not be very small, you can use not quite even ones. Wash cucumbers thoroughly, cut off both ends. We cut the cucumbers into rings about 0.5 cm thick. We clean the onion from the husk, wash it. Cut the onion into large rings, disassemble into separate rings.

Put the prepared onions and cucumbers in a saucepan of a suitable volume. Add coarsely chopped parsley, sugar, salt, vegetable oil and ground coriander.

Mix all components gently.

Cover the saucepan with the salad and place over medium heat. After 1-2 minutes, when a characteristic “hiss” is heard, reduce the fire to a minimum and cook for 10-15 minutes. During this time, gently mix the salad a couple of times. By the end of cooking, cucumbers begin to change color.

Pour vinegar into the salad, mix again and arrange in sterilized jars. When laying out the salad, gently shake, tamp down to fill the volume as much as possible. Pour the reserved marinade on top.

We cover the filled jars with boiled lids and seal hermetically. Turn the lettuce jars upside down and wrap well. Let stand until salad is completely cooled, about a day.
