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 (125ml) 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 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.
