👨‍🍳 Method

For the Sandwich

  1. 1
    Toast the three slices of bread until golden.
    Pop-up toaster
  2. 2
    Spread the mayonnaise on the first slice and the mustard on the second.
    Spreading knife
  3. 3
    On the first slice, layer the lettuce, tomato and turkey slices.
  4. 4
    Wash the cucumbers and arrange them in a clean jar, upright and tightly packed, with the garlic and dill between them.
    Jar
    💡Fresh, firm cucumbers, tightly packed and completely covered with water: a cucumber sticking out of the water softens and grows mold.
  5. 5
    Dissolve the salt in the water and pour over the cucumbers until they are completely covered.
  6. 6
    Close and leave at room temperature for 3–7 days, until the cucumbers turn olive green and are as sour as you like.
    💡Taste the water after a day: it should be as salty as seawater. Add salt or water as needed.
  7. 7
    Move to the fridge: the cold stops the fermentation.
    Refrigerator
  8. 8
    Place the second slice on top, and top it with the yellow cheese, avocado and pickles.
  9. 9
    Cover with the third slice.
  10. 10
    Press gently, cut diagonally and hold each half together with a toothpick.
