Method

1. Cut the green tomatoes¹ and cucumbers² into 1.5 cm cubes, slice the pepper into strips and the onion⁴ into half-moons, and grate the carrot⁵ on the coarse side of a grater. Chop the garlic⁶ and dill⁷.

2. Put the vegetables in a saucepan, add the oil, sugar, and salt, stir, and leave for 30 minutes until the juices are released.

3. Set the saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring. Add the garlic⁶, dill⁷, and vinegar, and heat for another 2 minutes.

4. Sterilize a 0.5 l jar over steam for 10 minutes, and boil the lid for 5 minutes.

5. Pack the hot salad tightly into the jar with its juices and cover with the lid.

6. Sterilize the jar in a saucepan of hot water for 15 minutes from the moment it comes to a boil, then seal it.

7. Turn the jar upside down and wrap it until cool. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 12 months, and keep an opened jar in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
