To add flavor and depth to dishes, keep a jar of these on hand with whatever veggies you have available. It takes only a few minutes and will keep for 6+ months in your fridge. Whenever you want to brighten up a dish, add some of these. You can keep it simple with just 1 type of veggie, but I enjoy a combination. You can use anything from sliced carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, slices cauliflower, sliced pumpkin, cucumbers, radish, onions, garlic, etc. It just takes slicing the veggies however you'd like, quickly bringing the pickling liquid to a boil and pouring it in the jar over the veggies and once cooled down in the fridge they go.
Ingredients
1 sliced carrot
1/4 head of purple cabbage
1 sliced bell pepper
1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar
2/3 cup of water
1 tsp seeds of your choice: coriander, mustard, black pepper, nigella
Optional: fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, thyme, marjoram
1 tsp salt
Optional: 1 tsp sugar
Method
In a pot, add 1/2 cup of vinegar and 2/3 cup of water along with 1 tsp of the following: pepper corn, coriander seeds, nigella seeds or any pickling spices you enjoy and bring to a boil.
Chop veggies to the thickness of your liking and stuff into a large jar.
Pour hot pickling liquid over veggies slowly into the jar until filled.
Close the lid, let cool down.
Place into fridge at least over night prior to using.
