Kovászos uborka are fermented pickles made from fresh cucumbers and dill. This traditional Hungarian pickled gherkin is a juicy and refreshing condiment.

  • Kovászos uborka is often served as a side dish with paprika-based meals, such as Lecsó or a classic Chicken Paprikash with noodles.
  • They also provide a delicious acidic contrast to rich stews and barbecue meats.
  • You can slice them to use as a sandwich topping or enjoy them straight out of the jar as a refreshing snack.
  • The pickle juice is also rich in electrolytes, making it an excellent choice for rehydration after a busy day of activities or sports in the sun.

How is it made?

The recipe for kovászos uborka is prepared without vinegar by lacto-fermenting fresh cucumbers in a simple brine made of salt, garlic cloves, aromatic dill, and a gluten-free sourdough culture, which imparts the characteristic mouth-wateringly sour taste.
