Universal marinade recipe works for cucumbers, tomatoes and even squash

Culinary and gastronomy specialist, cookbook author and journalist Iveta Galēja has shared tips on preparing a universal marinade suitable for pickling several types of vegetables. She spoke about it on the Latvian Radio show "Kā labāk dzīvot" ("How to Live Better").

According to Galēja, the marinade can be used for pickling both cucumbers and tomatoes. It also works for patisson squash, a vegetable that is pickled less often than cucumbers or tomatoes.

Quick and simple to make

The specialist emphasized that preparing the marinade is not complicated and can be done quickly, without unnecessary difficulties. This means the same recipe can be used to prepare several types of pickled vegetables, without needing separate recipes for each one.

This approach saves time and simplifies the process for those who want to prepare pickled vegetable stocks at home without learning multiple different recipes.

Iveta Galēja gave her advice on the Latvian Radio programme "Kā labāk dzīvot", where she shared her practical experience as a culinary expert on the topic of pickling vegetables.
