Fermented Forgotten Vegetables

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, demure, and tastes like Spring.

Directions

  1. Cut the vegetables into small florets – the size that would fit on a fork, or a small mouthful.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
