Hello everyone, I'm a food expert, silly sister food, winter is coming, it always makes people hungry, and their appetite increases. Although his stomach is so full that he can't stuff a single piece of rice, his mouth has not been idle. Sometimes I feel a little bloated and uncomfortable, so I think of the olives that my eldest sister prepares every year. Olives are a southern specialty and relatively rare in the north, but now shopping has become so easy for us to get them. Every winter, the eldest sister often feels uncomfortable in her throat, so she always prepares olives at home and eats a few a day, which can soothe the throat, dissolve phlegm and relieve cough, make the throat feel very comfortable, and the effect is very good. Olives are also a natural stomach digester, so there are many benefits to eating more olives in winter. Today I'm going to share with you two kinds of olives, let's take a look.
1. Prepare fresh olives, pour them into a basin, add an appropriate amount of flour and water, gently scrub them several times, wash and remove impurities and dust on the surface, and pick out the bad fruits at the same time. Then rinse well and allow to dry.
Additions: In order to maintain the freshness and taste of the olives, we can gently massage the olives while scrubbing them, helping them absorb the flour while also bringing out the aroma of the olives.
2. Mix the dried olives with coarse salt according to the ratio of ten catties of olives to one catty of coarse salt, stir well, and then put them into a bag, step on them or knead them by hand to make them more flavorful. The main purpose of this step is to remove the bitterness of the olives, which stops when the green juice comes out of the bag. Then wash it again and dry it dry, as much as possible.
Addition: While waiting for the olives to dry, we can prepare sweet and sour juice and bottles for subsequent operations.
3. According to the ratio of ten catties of olives, eight catties of rock sugar, and 2 bottles of vinegar, pour rock sugar and white vinegar into a stainless steel pot, without adding additional water. Crack the old rock sugar and then boil, stirring constantly during the cooking process to make it easier for the rock sugar to melt. When the rock sugar is completely melted, pour the olives into the pot and cook for a minute or two, until the color turns yellow.
Supplement: During the cooking process, we can appropriately adjust the ratio of rock sugar and vinegar according to personal taste preferences, increasing or decreasing sweetness and acidity.
4. After the olives have cooled completely, put them in waterless and oil-free bottles. The remaining icing sweet and sour sauce is also left to cool naturally, poured into a glass bottle, and then sealed and stored in the refrigerator. In this way, we can take out the olives and eat them anytime and anywhere, which is very convenient. Eat a few a day to moisten your throat and relieve cough, and it can also help digestion, which is very suitable for a winter diet. Eat it after a month, the taste is the best, and the juice can also be soaked in water to drink, which is also good for the body.
Supplement: The taste of rock sugar olives is rich and sweet, the sourness of olives and the sweetness of rock sugar are combined with each other, which is very appetizing and a great snack.
1. Wash and dry the olives on the surface to make sure there is no raw water. Next, gently crack the olives for better flavor, but don't push too hard so as not to break the pits.
Supplement: When cracking the olives, we can use tools such as the back of a knife to gently tap the olives to control the force.
2. It is best to choose old ginger, because the spicy taste and aroma of old ginger are stronger, and it is easier to make the olives flavorful. Wash the ginger, peel off the skin, and mash it with kitchen utensils.
Supplement: When mashing ginger with kitchen utensils, we can also add a small amount of salt and rock sugar, which can better enhance the taste and aroma of olives and ginger.
3. Mix the olives and ginger together, add an appropriate amount of salt and rock sugar, stir well, marinate overnight and serve. If we like, we can also make more, put it in a clean and dry glass bottle, seal it and keep it refrigerated, it can be stored for several months without spoiling.
Supplement: In addition to ginger, we can also try to add some other spices, such as minced garlic, paprika, etc., in order to make different flavors of olive ginger.
