Making canned rice and vegetables for winter storage couldn't be easier. The resulting appetizer is filling and healthy, ready to be served right away. You'll need to prepare the grains, as well as additional ingredients like zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant. You can also combine it with beans, tomatoes, or carrots—anything goes well with rice. Let's learn how to cook together to treat yourself to something delicious this winter.
Rice appetizer: flavor characteristics and cooking specifics
To prepare the snack you will need:
- rice groats;
- vegetables;
- spices according to the recipe, including salt and sugar;
- glass containers.
This is the bare minimum. When canning, a bite is added to prevent the product from "flying up," and the jars are sterilized. Below, we'll explain in detail how to prepare a delicious rice snack.
Selecting and preparing vegetables and grains
Vegetables are selected that are ripe, without damage or rot, but not wilted. You can use any type of rice: basmati, long grain, broken, or whole grain. The main thing is that it's clean, dry, and free of bugs.

Preparing the container
You'll need glass containers in the sizes most commonly used in your household. Ideally, between half a liter and a liter. It's not recommended to use jars that are too large, as opened snacks won't last long in them. They also take up more space.
All containers are washed with warm water and soda, and jars with chips on the neck, cracks, and other defects are rejected.

This finger-licking rice salad with zucchini in a slow cooker is a recipe for finger-licking goodness.
A slow cooker can be used to stew meat, fish, and vegetables. The ingredients are poured into the bowl, as for a zucchini salad, and then the mixture is divided into jars.
We are preparing a salad with rice, tomatoes and bell peppers
Sweet peppers are an essential ingredient in many dishes and homemade preserves. They impart a sweet, delicate flavor to the dish. They are prepared like lecho, then placed in jars, sterilized, and sealed with lids.

Vegetable snack without sterilization
If you don't plan to store the vegetable salad in jars for long, you can make it without sterilization. The same ingredients—tomatoes, carrots, and onions—are mixed with rice. Adding hot peppers makes for a piquant, spicy appetizer.
With zucchini
Rice porridge also goes well with zucchini. Whether you add bell peppers and spices to the recipe is up to you. But tomatoes and onions are a must.

Assorted green tomatoes
Swapping ripe tomatoes for green ones will add variety to your homemade preserves. Black or hot red pepper will add a spicy kick.
With beans
Legumes are a valuable source of protein, and paired with rice, this snack is a real treat. A modified "Tourist's Breakfast," it's filling and nutritious.

Without vinegar
This preserve is acid-free, so the vegetables are fried until tender. The tomatoes should be Slivka, and any rice will do.
In tomato dressing
Canned tomato juice or dressing is a ready-made salad base. Just add peppers, onions, and rice, and the dish is ready to be served.

Vegetable curry
Curry recipes vary, but the spicy spice of the same name is always included. Add potatoes, broccoli, or green peas—it's up to you.
