Peppers and tomatoes

Peel the peppers and eggplants with your fingers, without the use of a knife, and chop with a wooden spatula; then they do not turn black.

Tomatoes can be peeled easily without steaming, if you first rub them with the blunt side of a knife.

Cucumbers can be fermented even during the day, if they are poured over with salted water mixed with rye soup (proportion 3:1) and keep it warm.
