GRANDMA VARGA'S HUNGARIAN CUCUMBER SALAD (UBORKASALATA)



Grandma Varga's Hungarian Cucumber Salad (Uborkasalata) image

This is the best cucumber salad I have ever had. This is my grandmothers recipe, (she was from Nagyszentmiklos) and this is a perfect companion dish for chicken paprikas, although I could make a meal out of it. This will quickly become your favorite way to eat cucumbers!

Categories     Hungarian

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 medium cucumbers or 15 kirby cucumbers, peeled
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/2 pint sour cream
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika

Steps:

  • Slice cucumbers very thinly, preferably using a mandolin.
  • Take a colander, put in a small layer of cucumbers, then sprinkle with a small amount of the salt.
  • Continue this method until all the salt and cucumbers are used up.
  • Cover the cucumbers with a plate inside the colander, and put a very heavy weight on top.
  • Make sure the colander is in a large bowl, because the cucumbers will lose alot of water.
  • Let them sit for 1 hour.
  • In the meantime, chop the dill and finely mince the garlic, put aside.
  • After 1 hour, take a handful of cucumbers, and squeeze out as much juice as you can, and continue until they are all done.
  • Rinse thoroughly with water, drain well.
  • After the cucumbers are done, return to the colander, and weight down one more time for about 15 minutes.
  • You do not have to squeeze out the juice again with your hands Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, except the paprika.
  • After mixing thoroughly, put in a nice serving dish, and sprinkle with the paprika.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Enjoy.
  • Nutritional information shows a high amount of sodium, but the vast majority is pressed out by your hands. The main function of the kosher salt is to purge the moisture out of the cucumbers.

HUNGARIAN CUCUMBER SALAD



Hungarian cucumber salad image

Hungarian cucumber salad is typically eaten with many heavy, meat-centric meals, and we eat it a little differently than other nations typically do.Usually, instead of eating a salad as an appetizer, we eat this right along side our main meal, alternating bites to get something heavy and something light at the same time.

Categories     Salad

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 English cucumbers
1 cup of cold water
1 clove of garlic (minced)
3 tbsp of sugar
4 tbsp of white vinegar ((5%))
1 pinch of sweet paprika powder (to sprinkle)
1 pinch of ground black pepper (to sprinle)
1 tbsp of salt

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumbers and, using a mandolin slicer, slice both cucumbers as thinly as possible into a bowl. Add the salt and mix the cucumbers slices to lightly and evenly coat them with salt. Let sit for 15 minutes to draw out the water from the cucumbers.
  • The cucumbers will release about ½+ cup of liquid. Then, take large handfuls of cucumbers and, with your hands clenched, squeeze out as much liquid as you can and place the balls of squeezed cucumbers in a bowl. Discard the liquid.
  • In a cup, combine the sugar, the vinegar, and 1 cup of cold water and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add this mixture to the squeezed cucumbers and mix thoroughly. Add the chopped garlic, sprinkle with paprika powder and ground black pepper.
  • The vinaigrette is so light and refreshing, that you will be tempted to drink it after you eat the cucumber salad. Enjoy!
