Gherkins, those quaintly miniature cucumbers, steal the limelight when it comes to sprucing up dishes with an interesting texture and piquant flavor. These small, fleshy pickles boast a smooth, dark green skin and are widely enjoyed for their tanginess.
Extremely versatile, gherkins can be a luscious garnishment for sandwiches or elegantly dotted on a cheese board. They contribute greatly to the symphony of flavors in tartares and rillettes. Moreover, the acidic punch they deliver can beautifully balance the richness of creamy, fatty foods.
