Pickling is a method of preparing shelf-stable foods using acid.
It is most often used in cases where there is no utility room with a low temperature for preservation. You can marinate everything - fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, cheeses, eggs, mushrooms. Additional cooking may be required during the cooking process, especially if the acid is used in low concentration. The following are used as a basis for marinades:
- vinegar;
- citrus and other sour fruit juices;
- alcohol;
- tomato juice;
- soy sauce;
- dairy products;
- lemon acid.
Sometimes skilled cooks marinate foods only in spices; beginners most often use vinegar. This method is indispensable when you need to quickly serve something tasty on the table. Today we will make marinated cabbage with instant bell peppers.
