How to cook a salad of tomatoes and cucumbers for the winter
Red, dense, ripened (but not overripe!) Tomatoes are thoroughly washed and dried. Cut in half, cut the stem with a seal, cut into thick slices, as shown in the photo.
Sliced tomatoes are sent to a large bowl or basin.
Freshly thorny cucumbers are pre-soaked in cold water, rinsed well under the tap and cut into thin slices. I cut cucumbers on a Berner grater, I get slices of exactly the same thickness, moreover, very quickly.
Add chopped cucumbers to the tomatoes.
Peel the sweet white onion, cut into thin rings, throw to the vegetables.
Rinse a bunch of fresh herbs with cold water, shake, dry on a paper towel and chop finely.
Add chopped herbs to the rest of the ingredients.
Next, sprinkle the vegetables with salt and sugar, mix well, leave for a few minutes so that the juice begins to stand out.
Pour wine vinegar, sunflower oil, pour ground black pepper. I advise you to use unrefined sunflower oil for this salad, what smells like seeds - it turns out very tasty.
Next, put the salad on the stove, close the lid tightly and bring to a boil over moderate heat. We boil for 2-3 minutes, immediately remove from the stove so that the onion remains crispy.
Dry thoroughly washed cans and lids in an oven at a temperature of 110 degrees Celsius.
We lay out the salad in jars, add to the sauce formed during cooking. We close the lids, sterilize the jars with a capacity of 500 g for 12 minutes, then cork tightly.
