Shakhtarsky salad with pickled cucumbers is a classic hearty salad served with a glass.
The salad captivated me with its simplicity and brutality. Judging by the name, it was invented by miners.
I can see how, after a hard day of work in the slaughterhouse, a man came home, cut off a piece of meat for himself, took out a pickled cucumber with onions, drank it with some vodka and ate it.
It was on the basis of these components that I wanted to make a salad. I know that they also make it with pork, often the meat is fried, and other various extras are added, such as carrots, olives, peas, and whoever comes to mind. But I think that the basis of this salad is still made up of three main ingredients - meat, onion and cucumber. Speed of preparation is also important. After all, the meat can be boiled the day before, the rest is a matter of a few minutes.
To prepare the "Miner's" salad with pickles, we will take the products according to the list. I boiled the beef with bay leaf.
Ингредиенты
Boiled beef - 300 g
Onion - 150 g
Pickled cucumbers - 200 g
Vegetable oil - 100 ml
Garlic - 2 cloves
Bay leaf
Black pepper
Coriander - optional
Рецепт
1. Cut the boiled beef into strips. Instead of beef, you can use lean pork.
2. Do the same with pickled cucumbers. If the cucumbers are too salty and soft, the day before they need to be filled with hot water, in which half a tablespoon of tomato paste should be dissolved. You can also add chopped garlic clove. Cool and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, the cucumbers are crispy and unsalted.
3. Cut the onions into thin feathers. Rinse well under cold water, squeezing with your hands. Squeeze out all the water well.
4. Place all the ingredients in a salad bowl so that all the onions are on the surface.
5. Heat vegetable oil, to which add bay leaf, garlic and spices.
6. Pour hot oil over the onions in the salad bowl. Mix thoroughly, cover with film and place in the refrigerator to infuse. It is believed that the salad will taste full after at least 12 hours spent in the refrigerator.
7. We omitted the last point and ate the salad right away. Very brutal taste))). I think that men will like the “Miner’s” salad with pickles most of all.
8. Bon appetit!
