Kovászos uborka are fermented pickles made with fresh cucumber and dill. This traditional Hungarian pickled gherkin is a juicy and refreshing condiment.

  • Kovászos uborka is often served with paprika-based dishes, such as Lecsó or a traditional Chicken Paprikash with noodles.
  • They also provide a delicious acidic counterpoint for rich stews and BBQ meats or slice them and enjoy them as a sandwich topping.
  • You can also eat them straight out of the jar as a refreshing snack or drink the pickle juice, which is rich in electrolytes, making it perfect after a busy day of activities or sports in the sun. 

How is it made?

The kovászos uborka recipe is prepared without vinegar by lacto-fermenting the fresh cucumbers in a simple brine of salt, garlic cloves, aromatic dill and a gluten-free sourdough culture to impart its characteristic, mouth-wateringly sour taste.

Health benefits

The pickled gherkins are one of the best, naturally probiotic-rich foods and an excellent source of gut-health-promoting bacteria. The benefits of regular consumption may include improved digestion and a more robust microbiome that is better equipped to fight off infections.
