Recipe for Quick Pickles
Canned cucumbers are a traditional Ukrainian appetizer that remains popular due to its ease of preparation and exceptional taste. Prepared in an autoclave, pickled cucumbers retain their flavor and aroma for a long time.
To prepare canned cucumbers, you will need 2.4 kg of fresh cucumbers, which combined with black peppercorns, allspice, coriander, garlic, and herbs create an unparalleled aroma and taste. Dill, horseradish, and oak leaves add unique notes to the cucumbers. Dill is traditional for pickled cucumbers, has natural antibacterial properties that help keep cucumbers fresh and crisp. Horseradish adds a slight spiciness and heat, while oak leaves contain tannins that help in preservation, providing a subtle astringent aroma that adds depth to the overall taste of the pickles.
Pickled cucumbers prepared with this recipe are excellent with meat dishes, baked chicken, or pork. They also make a great snack with side dishes, especially boiled or baked potatoes. With their crunchy texture and rich flavor, these cucumbers will become a favorite addition to your meals and snacks.
