SUPER SIMPLE DILL PICKLES | Michelin Bib Gourmand Chef's Recipe

white vinegar

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

💰Cheaper: distilled vinegar

Apple cider vinegar adds a fruity flavor while maintaining acidity.

salt

🥗Healthier: kosher salt

💰Cheaper: table salt

Kosher salt is less processed and has a coarser texture.

garlic

🥗Healthier: garlic powder

💰Cheaper: onion powder

Garlic powder can provide flavor without the need for fresh garlic.

black peppercorns

🥗Healthier: white pepper

💰Cheaper: ground black pepper

Ground black pepper is more convenient and less expensive.

Slice cucumbers on a mandolin into thin pieces.

Add thinly sliced shallots and garlic to the cucumbers.

In a bowl, add fresh dill, black peppercorns, white peppercorns, bay leaves, red pepper flakes, mustard seed, and coriander to the cucumbers.

Add salt to the mixture; you can salt the cucumbers ahead of time to let them drip out.

Prepare the pickling liquid by combining 3 cups of water, 2 cups of white vinegar, and 1 cup of sugar.

Heat the pickling liquid until the sugar dissolves, ensuring it is not too watery, sugary, or vinegary.

Let the pickling liquid cool down, possibly refrigerating it for a few hours to ensure it is cold before using.

Pour the cooled pickling liquid over the cucumber mixture, ensuring everything is submerged.
