Jamie Oliver’s Cucumber Pickle is a quick pickled cucumber dish made by soaking sliced cucumbers in a vinegar-based dressing with sugar and seasoning.

The result is a crisp, tangy, and slightly sweet pickle that enhances a wide range of dishes.

Ingredients

Scale

You’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 2 cucumbers, thinly sliced

  • ½ cup white vinegar or apple cider vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (optional)

  • Fresh dill or parsley (optional)

Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the Cucumbers

Wash and thinly slice the cucumbers. You can use a knife or mandoline for even slices.

Step 2 – Make the Pickling Liquid

In a bowl, mix together the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3 – Combine Ingredients

Add the cucumbers (and onion if using) to the bowl. Toss well to coat them in the pickling liquid.

Step 4 – Add Optional Flavors

Stir in mustard seeds and fresh herbs if desired.

Step 5 – Let It Rest

Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes so the cucumbers absorb the flavors.

Step 6 – Serve

Serve immediately or chill for a more intense flavor.
