If you have lots of vegetables on hand, or you come across abundant options at the market that you can’t resist, pickling them is a great way to extend their life. Adding pickles to a dish is a simple and delicious way to elevate a sandwich, salad, or grain bowl.
Makes 1 cup
INGREDIENTS
¼ cup [60 ml] white distilled vinegar
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp kosher salt
⅓ cup [40 g] thinly sliced carrots
⅓ cup [50 g] thinly sliced radishes
⅓ cup [35 g] thinly sliced fennel
PREPARATION
Place the vinegar, ¼ cup [60 ml] of water, the sugar, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute.
Place the carrots, radishes, and fennel in a Stasher bag or glass jar. Pour the pickling liquid on top. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
VARIATION
Try using other crunchy vegetables, such as daikon, beets, red onion, bell peppers, and cucumber. They can be combined or pickled separately.
