    1. Cook the rice until it's halfway done, then drain. 2. Grate the cucumbers into long shreds and let them stand for 15–20 minutes so they release their juice. 3. Dice the onion and grate the carrot, then sauté them in the sunflower oil. 4. Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water, slip off the skins, and run them through a meat grinder (or pulse in a food processor). 5. Add the ground tomatoes to the onion and carrot, then stir in the cucumbers, first squeezing out the excess juice. 6. Simmer the vegetables for 10–15 minutes. 7. Add the rice, season with salt and pepper, stir, and cook for another 8–9 minutes. 8. Right at the end, stir in the vinegar essence. 9. Ladle the mixture into prepared sterilized jars and seal with clean lids. Happy canning!
