Provided by Danny Bowien

Yield Makes about 2 cups; Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound Persian or Kirby cucumbers, cut into 1/4-inch-thick coins
1/2 white onion, sliced (about 2/3 cup)
About 1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 garlic clove, minced
2 sprigs fresh dill, leaves picked and chopped, plus additional for garnish
1 1/2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • Combine the cucumbers and onions in a medium bowl and salt them generously. They should be as salty as you want your final pickles-about as salty as a potato chip. Add the garlic, dill, and spices and toss to mix. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, drain off any liquid that has leached out of the onions and cucumbers. Douse the vegetables with the white vinegar and marinate, covered, for 3 to 4 hours in the fridge.
  • Drain off the vinegar and store the pickles, covered, in the fridge. They'll last for a week. Add more chopped dill before serving.
