HOW TO MAKE QUICK PICKLED VEGETABLES



How to Make Quick Pickled Vegetables image

A guide for how to make quick pickled vegetables, including recipes for pickled radish, carrots, cucumber, spicy cauliflower, and onion!

Provided by Minimalist Baker

Categories     Side

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cup sliced vegetables
1 cup vinegar ((our go-to is apple cider, distilled white, or red wine))
1 cup water
3/4 tsp sea salt ((depending on vegetable used and preferred saltiness))
1 Tbsp cane sugar ((or sub stevia to taste))

Steps:

  • Add sliced vegetables to a mason jar or glass container. Set aside.
  • To a small saucepan add vinegar of choice, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir to fully dissolve salt and sugar. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt or sugar to taste.
  • Pour the brine over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged. If needed, add more vinegar or a little water to cover. *When pickling cucumbers, we generally like to let the brine cool so the cucumbers maintain their color and crunch.
  • Seal well and shake to combine. Then refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The flavors will deepen and intensify the longer it marinates. Best flavor is achieved after 24 hours.
  • Will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks (sometimes longer). Not freezer friendly.

PICKLED VEGGIE SALAD

Celery -- you buy it, knowing you'll throw away most of it. But wouldn't you like to use it up? And those scallions and carrots, too... Well, here's a recipe that revitalizes your fresh veggies by steeping them in a vinegar and water solution. This is a combination of several different recipes for Asian-style cucumber salads. I like to pour it over a salad, but you could just pick out the veggies and them solo. Use any veggies you like -- I've chosen the ones I most often have waiting around!
