Pikliz
Fiery, vinegary crunch that cuts through rich dishes with bright heat and snap.
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
- Thinly slice {green_cabbage}, julienne {carrot}, and thinly slice {shallot}, {scotch_bonnet_pepper}, and {garlic} so the pickle softens evenly and stays crisp.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir the {green_cabbage} mixture, taste and adjust with more {kosher_salt} if needed, then serve cold for maximum crunch and bright acidity.
