For those who love simple, healthy and unusual preparations, we suggest preparing a piquant snack for the winter from young zucchini with bay leaf and cloves.
A simple recipe was shared by the Belnovosti online publication's expert in the field of cooking, chef, and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.
Ingredients
• white wine vinegar (260 ml);
• young zucchini (1.2 kg);
• carnation buds (8 pcs.);
• filtered water (1.2 l);
• salt (to taste);
• bay leaf (8 pcs.);
• granulated sugar (70 g);
• black peppercorns (10 pcs.);
• dill umbrellas (to taste).
Cooking process
Prepare firm, young zucchini with thin skin and wash them thoroughly, then cut into thick circles or large slices.
Sterilize small glass jars and dry them, put pepper and dill umbrellas into them.
Add bay leaf and cloves, spread zucchini on top.
Boil water and immediately pour it into jars, then cover the glass containers with sterilized lids and set aside for 3-5 minutes.
Pour the water from the jars into a saucepan and boil again, add sugar and salt to taste, mix thoroughly and bring the mixture to a boil over low heat.
Turn off the burner and add wine vinegar to the pan, mix the marinade thoroughly and immediately pour it over the zucchini so that there is no free space left in the jars.
Immediately screw the jars and turn them over, cover with a thick blanket or a large terry towel, leave the preparations on the table for about 4-5 hours, then put them in some cool place for 2 weeks.
