Quick-pickled cucumbers

Ingredients

  • 1 medium-to-large cucumber
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp stevia-based sweetener (e.g. Sötströ)
  • Dill (optional but recommended)
  • Mustard seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the cucumber (use a cheese grater or similar for best result)
  2. Mix the cucumber slices with the salt
  3. Put the mix in a bowl or on on a plate and then put a weighted bowl or plate on top of the cucumbers to help squeeze water out of the slices.
  4. Leave for 30 minutes
  5. Mix vinegar, sweetener, dill and mustard seeds.
  6. Pour out the squeezed-out water from the cucumber bowl, and put the cucumbers in a glass jar.
  7. Pour the vinegar mix into the jar, and mix things about a bit. The mix will likely not cover all cucumber slices, but this is not a problem.
  8. Put the jar in the fridge, eat within a week.
