Hallo, ich würde gerne ein paar deutsche Gurken machen. Speziell solche für Rinderrouladen. Ich habe das Essen auf dem Bild zubereitet (es war eine köstliche und herzhafte Mahlzeit) und habe in keinem Lebensmittelgeschäft in meiner Stadt deutsche Gurken im Angebot, also habe ich mich mit dem begnügt, was ich finden konnte. Ich liebe es zu kochen, also würde ich sie gerne machen.
Wäre es etwas wie Senfkörner, Zwiebeln, Dill? Ist senfgurken der Typ? Würden sie geschält werden?

Thank you for your replies 🥒🥒🥒
Our family recipe just uses cucumber pickles in a jar from the supermarket, and yes, they come with mustard seed, onion, dill, if you want to make them yourself. They are just small cucumbers, unpeeled. Senfgurken would work, but they have more mustard, and are much milder, and have more sugar (at least the German Senfgurken).
For Rinderrouladen, the family recipe says to put mustard (again, supermarket one, mild) on the beef slices first, then add a slice of bacon before you roll them around the pickles (I’ve seen variations that have bacon pieces in the center together with the pickles).
So there’s already plenty of mustard there, which means the pickles mostly provide the acidity. I don’t know where you are, but I’ve seen „Kosher cucumber pickles“ in the US, and while they taste different from the German ones (no mustard, more salty), I guess they would work too in a pinch.
If the pickled cucumbers are on the bigger side, slice them into long pieces.
You’ll want something like standard cornichons.
I wouldn’t use Senfgurken, Dillgurken or Honiggurken.
I know it’s not a recipe, but I hope it helps.
Just wanna say, that good looks to die for. Rouladen is one of my faves since moving to Germany, and I would do some damage to that plate.
The kind if pickles you are looking for is „Essiggurke“ it‘s a little different from „Senfgurke“.
My fav recipe
1 kg gherkins (the little cucumbers)
1 big onion
500 ml vinegar
1 liter water
2 tablespoons of salt
1 bunch of dill
As spices you can use for example: mustard seeds, dill seeds, cloves, juniper berries, chillies, black pepper, coriander,
You need 3 large screw-top jars. Place the jars and lids in boiling water for a few minutes to sterilize them. Now put the cucumbers upright in the jars; you don’t have to peel them. Dice the onion and boil it together with the vinegar, the water, the salt, the dill and the spices and pour the hot broth into the jars so that the cucumbers are completely covered. Screw the lid on and turn the jars over so they‘ll seal. Now let the cucumbers sit for a few days.
Edit: Let them sit for at least 2 weeks, even better for 4 weeks.
You can use the regular ‚Gewürzgurke ‘ that you will find in ANY german supermarket. Kühne, just to name an example. We use this kind of pickles for generations (myself, my parents, my grand- and Grand grand parents) if we prepare ‚Rouladen‘
