Time 5h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4-5 large cucumbers (approx. 3 pounds, 1.4 kg); English/hothouse; see notes
6-7 radishes, optional
1 medium (4 ounces, 110 gram) red onion; optional
1 ½ tablespoon salt
3 cups (24 ounces, 700 ml) plain whole milk yogurt, unsweetened; see notes
2 cups (16 ounces, 470-500 ml) sour cream, 18-20% fat
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, or lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar, optional
8 tablespoons (0.3 ounces, 9-10 grams) fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground; optional

Steps:

  • Wash the cucumbers and radishes under cold running water.
  • [Peeling] There's no need to peel this type of cucumbers, as the skin is edible and very thin. I prefer to peel the cucumbers anyway, only leaving ½ of one cucumber unpeeled (mainly for a visual effect).
  • Slice the cucumbers through their length into thin medallions. Repeat with the radishes. Set aside.
  • [Optional] Cut the onion in half, peel back the skin. Place the onion halves cut side down, and slice them finely into half-moons.
  • Drop sliced vegetables (cucumbers, radishes, onion) into a large bowl. Sprinkle one and a half tablespoons of salt and mix everything with a spoon. The aim is to coat the cucumbers with salt evenly.
  • Move the veggies into a colander (or a large sieve). Place a large bowl underneath it - it can be the same bowl we have just used, there's no need for extra cleaning. Cover with a plastic wrap, so the cukes won't dry up and chill in the fridge for 4-5 hours; or even overnight. We're not done here just yet though, follow the next step.
  • Line a fine-mesh sieve (large enough to hold 24 ounces or 700 ml) with a cheesecloth (loose-woven gauze) or a piece of paper towel. Place it over a bowl.
  • Pour the yogurt in, and cover the whole thing with cling film. Again, refrigerate for 4-5 hours; or overnight. We're done here, for now. See you in a few hours!
  • Retrieve both bowls from the refrigerator. Unwrap them and discard the excess liquid that has collected at the bottom.
  • Roll the vegetables in paper towels (or a clean kitchen towel) to dry them up and press out any excess juices.
  • In a large bowl, add in the yogurt, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, dill, and black pepper. Whisk the dressing together, then add in all the vegetables.
  • Toss well and have a taste. We have salted the cucumbers well before, but some of that salt will be gone at this point. I usually add one more teaspoon of salt, but you might need two.
  • Refrigerate for a few hours before serving, so that the flavours can develop and blend together. If you're impatient, you can serve it immediately.
  • Right before serving, you can sprinkle 'Mizeria' lightly with salt, ground pepper, and a few dill twigs.

AUTHENTIC POLISH CUCUMBER SALAD (MIZERIA)



Authentic Polish Cucumber Salad (Mizeria) image

Don't let the name deceive you - This is very easy, no misery involved! I love Polish food but it is usually high in salt or fat, so I don't make it very often (unfortunately!). This is a very refreshing side dish, especially during the hot summer months. * You can substitute lemon juice for the vinegar and dried dill for the fresh, if you need to.
