Danish Cucumber Salad (Agurksalat)
Traditional Danish recipe for pickled cucumbers or Agurksalat as it is called in Danish. The recipe is very easy to follow and exactly like the pickled cucumbers have been made in Denmark for many, many years.
Servings: 1 jar
Ingredients
- 1 cucumber
- 2 tbsp salt
- 2 dl white vinegar
- 1 dl sugar
- 1/2 dl boiling water
- 1 tbsp peppercorn
Instructions
- Mix the vinegar, boiling water, sugar and peppercorn in a bowl. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Rinse the cucumber and cut it in very thin slices. Put them on a plate or similar and add the salt. Let them soak in the salt for about 10 minutes.
- Use your hands to press out the water from the cucumbers. Put them in a strainer and rinse them shortly in cold water.
- Clean a glass jar using boiling water. It's important that it's completely clean - this will make the cucumber salad last longer.
- Pour the vinegar mixture and the sliced cucumbers in the jar. Let the cucumbers soak in the vinegar for at least an hour. Keep them refrigerated.
