Harvesting sliced cucumbers with mustard for the winter
For this recipe, you do not need a selection of smooth cucumbers. We take everything that was rejected when salting / pickling: hooked, too large barrels - and cook sliced cucumbers with mustard, according to a simple recipe for the winter and always in cans under iron lids.
From such a cucumber "not condition" you get a wonderful salad for the winter with a fragrant mustard filling. Just make sure that the overripe specimens with large seeds are not caught - the pulp of such cucumbers will quickly melt, and the peel will remain firm, and the seeds will interfere.
The taste of the salad is not very spicy, so if there are “fire eaters” among you, add more mustard and garlic. Pouring is fragrant, but cloudy due to the dissolved mustard powder and other seasonings. In winter, cucumbers with mustard can be served as a salad or appetizer, add boiled potatoes, meat and vegetable dishes.
