Ingredients

  • A quarter cup of salt
  • Two quarts of water, gently warmed
  • Two cloves of garlic, finely minced to your preference
  • Trio of fresh thyme sprigs, finely chopped
  • Trio of fresh oregano sprigs, finely chopped
  • Two teaspoons of flavorful harissa
  • Generous tablespoon of ground coriander
  • A tablespoon of sesame seeds for texture
  • A sprinkle of aromatic cumin seeds
  • A tablespoon of sumac powder for a tangy twist
  • A bunch of sixteen small pickling cucumbers or adjust to your needs

Step 1

Begin by pouring water into a large, 1-gallon glass jar that comes with a secure lid. Stir in the salt until fully dissolved, infusing the liquid with flavor. Next, add the aromatic garlic, letting its pungent essence mingle with the brine.

Step 2

Continuing the flavorful journey, sprinkle in the fragrant thyme, earthy oregano, and spicy harissa, layering the jar with a medley of enticing scents.

Step 3

In a separate pan, gently toast the coriander, sesame seeds, and cumin seeds over medium-low heat. Stir continuously to release their rich aromas without scorching, allowing the kitchen to fill with a warm, inviting fragrance. Once the spices are beautifully fragrant, about 30 seconds later, incorporate them into the seasoned salt mixture, along with a pinch of tangy sumac.

Step 4

Seal the jar tightly with its lid and give it a good shake, letting the contents blend harmoniously.

Step 5

Now, the fun part - carefully nestle as many fresh cucumbers as you can into the jar, ensuring they are fully immersed in the flavorful brine.

Step 6

With the jar securely sealed, place it in the cool embrace of the refrigerator for a patient waiting period of 10 days. During this time, the cucumbers will undergo a magical transformation, emerging as deliciously pickled delights ready to elevate your culinary creations.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Pick the Perfect Jar : Look for a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid to keep your Zesty Za'atar Pickles fresh and flavorful.
  2. 2. Layer on the Flavor : When packing your pickles into the jar, alternate layers of cucumbers and onions with sprinkles of zesty Za'atar seasoning for a burst of flavor in every bite.
