How to Make Pickles for Gut Health 🥒

This is my go-to pickle recipe I’ve made for the past 4 years. It’s an Arab style recipe with some fragrant pickling spices but subtle enough for most people. The spice mix can be found at most Arab markets or else online. You can boil the pickle brine or make these pickles raw if you like, both ways turn out great. The only downside with raw pickling is you need to wait 1-2 weeks after making them before you’re able to eat the pickles.

Ingredients:

- 2 cloves garlic

- 1 Tbsp Sadaf pickling spice

- 1 Tbsp kosher salt

- 2 pickling cucumbers 🥒

- pint sized vinegar bottle

- 2 tbsps apple cider vinegar

Step 1:

Smash garlic with knife and add into clean pickle jar with the pickling spice and salt.

Step 2:

Slice the cucumbers into spears longwise or coins. If you like pickles in sandwiches and wraps slice into coins but if you like to snack on them slice into coins. Then add into the jar.

Step 3:

Fill halfway up with vinegar, then add water and a few splashes of apple cider vinegar.

If you want to boil the brine instead then simply bring the vinegars, water and salt to a boil, turn off heat then pour into jar filled with all the other ingredients.
