This tried-and-tested recipe was created by Ivan Mate – Fermentissimo.

Method

Dissolve the salt in water to prepare a 2.5% brine. Add the cucumber, garlic, dill, peppercorns and optional chilli flakes to your fermenter.

Pour over the brine, making sure the cucumbers remain fully submerged throughout fermentation.

Ferment at room temperature for 24–48 hours, then refrigerate. Taste after 24 hours and continue fermenting if you prefer a more tangy flavour.

Ivan’s tip: “For me, 3 days gives the perfect flavour.”
