Crispy lightly salted cucumbers in 1 hour with soy sauce and lemon juice
Lightly salted cucumbers are great because they cook very quickly, literally in 15 minutes. Then you just have to wait 1.5 hours for the vegetables to marinate and soak up the aroma of fresh herbs.
I usually cook these lightly salted cucumbers as an appetizer for shashlik while the wood burns out in the grill. By the time the meat is baked on the coals, the lightly salted cucumbers will already be marinated and ready to eat. The vegetables are very tasty, juicy, crispy and incredibly aromatic. The dressing of soy sauce and lemon juice with vegetable oil gives the cucumbers a piquant sweet and sour note.
For the recipe, it is best to use young small vegetables with unripe seeds and thin skin. If you like spicy snacks, add a few thin rings of chili pepper to the cucumbers.
