Tasty No-Pickle Pickles in 5 Minutes


Greetings all!

As you know, sometimes priorities change. For example, a cucumber might set out to become a pickle but then decide to stay betwixt and between. The result is a tasty side dish, especially when served with potatoes! 

If you like cucumbers and/or pickles, try this great recipe to transform a cucumber into not-quite a pickle (hands-on time is 5 minutes)!



Ingredients:
  • 2 lbs (~1 kg) of Persian cucumbers, whole (just cut away the ends) or cut in medium-size pieces
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • dill, chopped

Directions: 
  • Combine cucumbers, garlic, dill and salt in a Ziploc bag or a container; shake well
  • Refrigerate for 6-8 hours and shake occasionally (or if you are impatient, try after 30 minutes!)

And finally, something to make you laugh: apparently pickle quotes on T-shirts are quite popular!


Bon Appetit!
