Description
These homemade pickled vegetables are a simple and delicious way to enhance your sandwiches and preserve the flavors of summer produce.
Ingredients
- 1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 200 gr radishes, thinly sliced
- 2 golden baby beetroots, skins rubbed and thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp sea salt flakes
- 1 cup (250 ml) white wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup (110 gr) sugar
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) water
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 2 tsp fennel seeds (I ran out of mine so I used anisseeds instead. Worked well!)
- 1 tsp black peppercorns
- 1/2 cup (15 g) flatleaf parsley, roughy chopped
- 1/2 cup (15 g) dill sprigs, roughly chopped
- 1 x 200 gr burrata or mozzarella and sourdough bread to serve
Instructions
- Place carrot, cucumber, radishes, and beetroot in a colander over a bowl. Add sea salt flakes and toss. Let stand 20 minutes to remove excess moisture.
- Rinse salted vegetables under cold water to remove salt. Drain well and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine white wine vinegar, water, sugar, mustard seeds, fennel seeds, and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Remove saucepan from heat and let pickling liquid cool slightly.
- Place drained vegetables into a sterilized jar, along with the parsley and dill. Pour warm pickling liquid over vegetables and herbs, ensuring full submersion.
- Seal jar and cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving with the burrata or mozzarella and sourdough bread to allow flavors to develop.
Notes
- These pickled vegetables are perfect for adding to sandwiches or serving as a side dish.
- Store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- You can substitute the vegetables with others like bell peppers or onions.
- Adjust the sugar and vinegar to taste if you prefer a sweeter or more tangy pickle.
