Courgette Pickles & Green Bean Pickles
Ingredients
- Courgettes Sliced
- Green beans Or other veggies
- 1 Clove garlic Peeled
- Dill seeds
- Fennel seeds
- Horseradish or ginger root Finely sliced
- 1 Dessertspoon Sea salt
- 1 Cup Filtered water
Instructions
- Pack your veggies of choice tightly in a jar, interspersed with the flavour emitters: garlic, ginger or horseradish root and/or seeds and also with some horseradish or grape leaves which serve to keep softer vegetables a little crunchy.
- Make a brine up of 1 dessertsp sea salt to 1 cup filtered water. Fill the jar with this brine to about 2cm below the rim. Make sure all the vegetables are submerged and place a weight on top to prevent vegetables from rising up and spoiling.
- Check their flavour daily. When you think they are well enough fermented to be enjoyable to eat, slow the fermentation process by putting them in the fridge.
- Enjoy; they will keep for up to two months.
