Preparation

1. Wash the vegetables, cut, place in a large pot, sprinkle with salt and leave for 3 hours.
2. After 3 hours add the vinegar, water and sugar, and cook on high heat (3 minutes from boiling). Do not boil too much, the vegetables should remain hard.
3. One minute before turning the heat off, add the Baharat and turmeric. At first the pickles color will be light but they slowly darken so do not add spices.
4. Cool and store in a closed jar in the refrigerator.
5. Bon appetite (:

Total time: 3-4 hours

The preparation method also includes boiling (boiling the vegetables speeds up the preparation process). Ready to eat as soon as it cools (even after 1-2 hours). The pickles are kept in the fridge for a long time - even a month (as long as the jar is tightly closed).
