pickled courgette #makeyourown

Ahhhhhhh that sight of jars in your fridge filled with fresh produce that you transformed all by yourself.

ingredients

This makes for a large 1L jar of courgette pickle:

• 500g courgettes

• 3 shallots

• 2 tbsp salt

• 100 ml rice vinegar

• 400 ml vinegar

• 150 g cane sugar

• 1t peppercorns

• 1t caraway seeds

• 1t mustard seeds

• 1t mustard powder

• 1t turmeric

 

method

With a mandolin, thinly shave courgettes and shallots. Transfer to a large bowl, add 2 tablespoons of salt and cover with ice cold water, dissolving the salt as you go. Leave that for one hour, drain well in a colander and spread out on a clean kitchen towel to dry.

Combine all of the other ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let simmer for about five minutes. Add the courgette and shallot to the still warm pickle and scoop this into a 1L sterilized weck jar. Chill in the fridge for a few days before use.
