Pikliz

Ingredients

  • 300 g Green Cabbage
  • 1 pcs Carrot
  • 1 pcs Scotch Bonnet Pepper
  • 2 pcs Garlic
  • 4 pcs Whole Cloves
  • 60 ml Lime Juice
  • 180 ml White Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 pcs Shallot

Method

  1. Thinly slice {green_cabbage}, julienne {carrot}, and thinly slice {shallot}, {scotch_bonnet_pepper}, and {garlic} so the pickle softens evenly and stays crisp.
  2. In a nonreactive bowl, toss {green_cabbage}, {carrot}, {shallot}, {scotch_bonnet_pepper}, and {garlic} with {kosher_salt} and {whole_cloves} until the vegetables start to wilt slightly.
  3. Pour {white_vinegar} and {lime_juice} over the seasoned vegetables, press them into a jar, and let the pikliz stand refrigerated until sharp, fragrant, and lightly softened.
  4. Stir the {green_cabbage} mixture, taste and adjust with more {kosher_salt} if needed, then serve cold for maximum crunch and bright acidity.
