About the recipe
I’d like to show you how to make super simple delicious fresh prickle cucumbers. The recipe needs just a few ingredients that you can easily find in your kitchen.
This recipe doesn’t last long in my house. The kids love it and it’s usually over in 3 days.
Ogorki Malosolne is a famous Polish delicacy, which means “Little salt cucumbers.” The pickles usually have a tangy, sour taste which makes it an interesting snack.
The ingredients
This recipe uses a few ingredients which can easily be found in the Grocery Store. The ingredients are:
- Cucumbers
I used Baby cucumbers for this recipe. I found it easier to work with baby cucumbers as their size fits my Mason jar perfectly. You can still use the normal cucumbers if you plan on using a big Jar to store the Ogorki Malosolne.
Also, ensure you buy organic cucumbers. This makes a big difference to your recipe.
2. Horseradish leaves
The horseradish leaves give the recipe a wonderful flavor.
3. Garlic
The garlic gives the Ogorki malosolne a tangy taste. The Garlic is also important for the fermentation process.
The equipment
Saucepan: we used a heavy-based pan to boil the water and salt mixture which becomes the brine
Cooking Stick: very important in ensuring the water and salt mix together.
Sanitized Jar; a sanitized jar is used to store the Ogorki Malosolne.
Chopping board: a sturdy chopping surface is required when chopping the ingredients
Knife: a sharp knife is used to cut the ingredients.
Substitution
There are instances where you may not find horseradish leaves. In this case, you can easily substitute the horseradish leaves with grape leaves or Blackcurrant leaves.
How to make this recipe
The recipe involves adding all the dry ingredients to the jar, then adding the brine (salty water) into the jar.
Ensure that all the ingredients are in the water and cover the jar with a lid. Sit in on a counter for about 3 days and they are ready to eat.

Expert Tips
You can add a bunch of leek in your recipe if you have it. I didn’t have leek at home when making this jar of Orgoki Malosolne, so I didn’t use it in this recipe.
You can also decide to cut the stem off. This gives it an interesting clean look.
