Terevisioon presenters make crunchy kefir pickles

ERR’s Terevisioon programme featured presenters Katrin Viirpalu and Juhan Kilumets preparing kefir pickles from a recipe found on social media. The pickles should be ready to eat within a few hours.

To make them, trim the ends off the cucumbers, slice them and chop plenty of dill. Add the dill, one teaspoon of salt and a splash of kefir to a jar, then mix.

Add the cucumbers and pour in enough kefir to cover them. Close the jar and shake it so the ingredients combine.

“You could already taste them after two or three hours,” Viirpalu said.

She advised using salt sparingly. The result, she said, was a pleasantly crunchy pickle.
