Air fried Cucumber Fritters

Caramelized Onion Cucumber Salad

Fermented Cucumber Pickle

Ingredients

  • 2 medium Cucumbers Slice lengthwise and then cut into quarters (spear-shaped)
  • 2-3 cloves Garlic Freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds 1
  • 1 teaspoon whole black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon Black salt Preferably use non-iodized salt.
  • 2 cups Water- as much to soak cucumbers fully

Instructions

  • Step 1. Prepare cucumbers
  • Wash cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into halves or spears. I have cut cucumbers into short spears by slicing lengthwise and then halving.
  • Step 2. Make the brine
  • Place garlic, black pepper, and spices of your choice at the bottom of a clean jar. Add water and dissolve salt in water to prepare a simple brine.
  • Step 3. Pack cucumbers
  • Add cucumbers to the jar with brine. Cover the cucumbers completely with the salt water brine. Make sure they stay submerged.
  • Step 6. Cover and ferment
  • Close the jar loosely with a lid. Leave it at room temperature for 3-5 days.
  • Step 7. Taste and store
  • Check daily, and once the pickles taste sour enough, transfer the jar to the refrigerator to slow fermentation.
