Romanian Summer Fermented Cucumbers
Romanian summer fermented cucumbers are one of the country's favorite seasonal pickles. They are naturally fermented in brine without vinegar and are ready in just a few days thanks to the warm summer temperatures. Dill, garlic, horseradish, and aromatic leaves create a refreshing, crisp, and pleasantly tangy pickle.
