Ogórki Kiszone

• 1 kg cucumbers
• 2 liters water
• 2 tablespoons sea salt
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 dill sprigs fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon bay leaf

Method

1. 1

   Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and trim the ends.

2. 2

   In a large pot, dissolve the sea salt in the water to create the brine.

3. 3

   In a clean glass jar, layer the cucumbers, garlic, dill, black peppercorns, and bay leaf.

4. 4

   Pour the brine over the cucumbers, making sure they are completely submerged.

5. 5

   Cover the jar with a clean cloth and secure it with a rubber band to allow air circulation during fermentation.

6. 6

   Leave the jar at room temperature for about 7 days, checking periodically to ensure cucumbers are submerged in brine.

7. 7

   After 7 days, taste the cucumbers. If they are fermented to your liking, transfer them to the refrigerator to slow down the fermentation process.
