• bay leaf.

You can pickle caviar in various ways

Cooking:

1. We clean the carp, carefully remove the caviar. We wash and filter through a fine sieve, separating a thin film. We do everything very carefully so that it does not get damaged. To facilitate the grinding process, you can periodically moisten the sieve with water, especially if the holes are clogged.
2. Then fill the eggs with boiling water, leave for 5 minutes. Then we drain the water through a fine sieve so that they do not fail.
3. Now we are preparing the brine. Dissolve fine salt in water. It is important to maintain the proportions correctly, since too salty caviar prevents you from enjoying its taste, and lightly salted caviar will quickly deteriorate.
4. Add bay leaf to the solution, which will give the dish a specific aroma, and at the same time get rid of the unpleasant odor.
5. Bring the brine to a boil, then let cool to 70°C.
6. Pour the eggs with this saline solution and leave to cool for 30 minutes. Stir constantly at first. This is done for several reasons: to destroy harmful bacteria, so that the eggs are better salted and acquire a beautiful rich color.
7. When the mass has cooled, we filter it. We put a colander on a bowl, put cheesecloth on its bottom. It is advisable to fold it in three and moisten it, because water flows very slowly through dry gauze.
8. Thoroughly stir the water so that the eggs float in it. Then, in one motion, pour it into a colander.
9. We wait until the water drains, and the crucian caviar remains on the gauze.
10. We transfer the finished dish to a storage container.
