Pickled cucumbers with onions

Cookinero 7 May 2025

Delicious and crispy pickled cucumbers from Bulgaria were in great demand during the Soviet era, but were in short supply. It is easy to prepare this popular snack at home. The special feature of the recipe is that the cucumbers need to be pickled together with onions and carrots. Unlike classic pickles, a little more sugar and salt is used here. The marinade is soaked in the aroma of vegetables, giving the cucumbers an unusual taste, familiar to many from childhood. The products are indicated based on a liter jar.
