Preparation
Start with the preparation of cucumbers, depending on their size, divide each in half or quarters. Put the sliced cucumber in an enamel saucepan, add tomato paste, garlic paste and other ingredients from the list. Place the dishes with cucumbers over medium heat and cook, stirring, for about half an hour.
Cooking cucumbers seems wild, but do not worry, they will not have time to soften and do not start to fall apart, but only have time to soak marinade. At the end of cooking it's time to try the sauce and salt it to taste. When the desired degree of salinity is reached, leave the cucumbers to salivate under the lid for 10 minutes, and then spread over the jars and pour a sharp marinade. Cover the jars and allow them to sterilize for half an hour before rolling.
Salad of cucumbers in tomato should be completely cooled before storage.
