Ingredients

Cucumbers

  • 600-700 g cucumber I used field cucumbers, peeled, sliced very thin
  • salt

Dressing

  • 3 tbsp vinegar white
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • pepper small pinch
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 25-30 g dill fresh, chopped 1/4"

Instructions

  • Layer the bottom of a flat bottom sieve or message rack with cucumbers, sprinkle lightly with salt, add a layer and repeat.
  • Optionally add weight on top a large pan, chef presses, etc
  • Allow cucumber to sit for 10 minutes. The salt will draw out some water so make sure there's something to catch that underneath
  • Squeeze the cucumbers up in a cheese cloth or clean kitchen towel, draining them of most of their juices. You want them to keep some juices though, they'll thin the dressing some and infuse it with more cucumber-y goodness
  • While the cucumbers are draining whisk together all the dressing ingredients
  • Add the drained cucumbers to a container, add the dressing and toss vigorously to combine.
  • Refrigerate at least 30-60mins, but ideally over night.
  • Serve garnished with a radish rose if you're a fancy boy
