Low-Amine Dill Pickle Substitute

Pickles… My greatest obsession. I love them so! But of course, with an amine allergy, they’re impossible to eat. Here’s a quick and easy low-amine dill pickle substitute recipe that will leave your taste buds satisfied and your pickle craving fulfilled.

1 English cucumber

1/4 tsp ascorbic acid

1/2 tsp dill

3 Tbsp salt

Wash cucumber and cut ends off.
Use a mandoline to slice cucumber very thinly – the thinner you slice them, the faster they’ll pickle.
Put all cucumber slices in a tupperware with a good seal. Cover in salt and rub salt into the cucumber slices.
Close tupperware and put in fridge for at least 12 hours, taking out to shake tupperware occasionally.
When cucumber slices have reached a flexible pickle consistency, drain into a colander.
Run water over low-amine pickle substitute and massage, to get salt out. Massage and massage, squeezing the water out firmly. After a few rinses, taste. When the salt content tastes right to you, squeeze all water out of the pickle substitutes and place in bowl.
Add ascorbic acid and dill. Mix well and taste. Add more ascorbic acid or dill as needed, but note that a little goes a long way!
Enjoy your dill pickle substitutes!

  I love every kind of pickle. I think I would subsist on nothing but sushi, pho, and pickles, if I were given the chance.
