Try this delicious pickling recipe by Tom Wescott. Using up What’s in Season – we’ve opted for purple sprouting broccoli and cauliflower. It’s delicious, and tastes just like Spring.
Directions
-
Cut the vegetables into small florets – the size that would fit on a fork, or a small mouthful.
-
Place in a bowl and apply the salt and spices. Mix well and transfer to a clean jar or container. Cover with the oil, pushing the veg down under it. Depending on the container, you may need slightly more or less.
-
Leave at room temperature. Approximately 15-18 degrees celsius is ok, and allow to ferment for 2-3 weeks. Check periodically, perhaps once a week, and push the veg down with a clean spoon. Once the flavour has become acidified, they can be placed in the fridge and will keep for 3-4 months.
