Pickled Broccoli and Cauliflower
Most any produce can be pickled. Broccoli and cauliflower florets make a nice combination. Here they're spiced with Indian flair.
Ingredients
1 small head broccoli florets
1 small head cauliflower florets
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 chili peppers
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 cups white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons pickling salt
1 small head cauliflower florets
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 chili peppers
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 cups white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons pickling salt
Directions
In a medium bowl, toss together the broccoli, cauliflower, spices, and oil. Pack into a canning jar.
Combine the water, vinegar, and salt in a saucepan and heat, stirring, until the salt is dissolved. Pour the liquid over the vegetables, leaving 1/2 inch space at the top of the jar. Place the jar in the refrigerator for about a week, to allow flavors to meld.
