EASY HOMEMADE PICKLE

Easy homemade pickle image

Instead of wasting unwanted bits of veg, why not try one of the coolest kitchen tricks by making your own great little house pickle? It's my favourite way to use up odds and ends of crunchy veg that would otherwise get chucked away, and it gives you a fantastic side that will work with all sorts of dishes.

Time 20m

Yield 1 large jar, approx. 800ml

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

400 g crunchy veg, such as radishes, carrots, red onion, cauliflower, cucumber
250 ml vinegar, such as white wine, red wine or cider
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon caster sugar
fresh dill, optional
mustard seeds, optional

Steps:

Cut or slice up the veg into fine or chunky pieces, depending on what you're looking for. I quite like purposely cutting each veg differently - some diced, some into erratic chunks, some sliced delicately and some more thickly.
Place all the veg in a sterilised airtight jar, add 125ml of water, along with the vinegar, salt, sugar and herbs and spices, if using. Close the lid and give it a good shake.
Keep in the fridge for up to 8 weeks, or you can absolutely use it right away - it will start off tasting quite sharp and crunchy, then relax into itself over a period of a few weeks. This pickle is brilliant in sandwiches and salads, on a cheese board, or as a side to curries and stir-fries.

AMAZING PICKLED AND MARINATED VEGETABLES

Amazing Pickled and Marinated Vegetables image

Pickled vegetables taste totally delicious. I'm going to give you my personal favorite vegetables and herb combinations - damn simple and they make great presents. Much cooler than turning up with a bottle of wine. Once you've had success with them, have a go at your own variations. You can use one large jar or lots of smaller ones (I prefer smaller ones because once a jar's been opened it will only last for a week or so in the refrigerator).

Time 1h30m

Yield about 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 quart cider or white wine vinegar
1 quart water
2 tablespoons sea salt
2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
1 fresh red chili, deseeded and chopped
2 pounds mixed mushrooms and a few sprigs of fresh thyme, rosemary and sage
2 pounds firm eggplant and 2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 pounds firm zucchini and 6 sprigs of fresh mint
2 pounds fennel bulbs and their herby tops
2 pounds small onions and 4 bay leaves
2 pounds red and yellow peppers and a few sprigs of fresh thyme

Steps:

Make sure you have some small sterilized jars ready to go. Bring the pickling liquid ingredients to the boil in a big pan. Put the pickling marinade ingredients into a large bowl with your chosen herbs and mix well. Slice up your chosen vegetables any way you like, but if it's a larger vegetable try to get the pieces around 1/2-inch in thickness. This way, the flavors and pickling liquid will penetrate sufficiently. Smaller vegetables, like mushrooms or very small onions, can be left whole.
Place the sliced vegetables in the boiling pickling liquid and leave for around 3 minutes - they'll probably rise to the surface, so keep pushing them down to ensure they are all immersed. Lift the pieces out with a slotted spoon and place them into your bowl of pickling marinade. Toss together - it will smell fantastic.
Pretty much straightaway, put the hot vegetables and pickling marinade into your sterilized jars, filling them to the very top. Cover the vegetables completely with the marinade and put the lids on tightly. Put the jars aside until they're cool. Clean the jars, attach sticky labels and write the date and the contents on them. Store the jars somewhere cool and dark - it's best to leave them for about 2 weeks before opening so the vegetables really get to marinate well, but if you absolutely cannot wait, you can eat them sooner. They'll keep for about 3 months - but they're so bloody good I'm lucky if the jars last for a couple of weeks in our house!
