How to cook cucumbers in a bag
Preparation:
Wash the cucumbers, dry them, cut off the ends, and cut them into 4 pieces lengthwise. Put them in a bag.
Then add chopped dill, garlic, salt (optional), lemon juice, lime juice, or apple cider vinegar.
Tie the bag tightly, leaving a little space so that the cucumbers are not damaged by shaking. Shake the bag well so that all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Leave the bag in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
For the best flavor, it is recommended to use fresh cucumbers with a thick skin. Instead of dill, you can use other herbs to your liking, such as parsley, basil, and mint.
The amount of garlic can be adjusted at your discretion. If you want more spicy cucumbers, add a little hot pepper. The longer the cucumbers are pickled, the more intense their flavor becomes.
