Instrucciones

1. 1

   Preparar

   Ten los ingredientes listos.

   Sterilization is important for successful fermentation — any contaminating bacteria can cause the pickles to become slimy rather than crisply fermented.

2. 2

   Cocinar

   Cocina a fuego medio hasta que esté listo.

3. 3

   Sazonar

   Sazona con sal y pimienta.

4. 4

   Servir

   Sirve caliente.

   Any cucumber not submerged will develop white mold rather than beneficial lacto-fermentation.

5. 5

   Ferment and Store

   Seal the jar loosely (to allow gas to escape) or cover with a cloth secured with a rubber band. Leave at room temperature (18-22°C) for 3-5 days, tasting daily from day 3. The brine will become slightly cloudy as fermentation progresses — this is normal and desirable. When the pickles are pleasantly sour and garlicky to your taste, seal tightly and refrigerate.
