Red mixed pickle

This mixed pickle is made with a variety of vegetables left to mature for 2 weeks in diluted vinegar.

The result is similar to gherkins and can be added to lots of recipes, or eaten with a snack or sandwich.
This red version gets its name from beetroot and red cabbage, which eventually colour everything else in the jar.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Prepare your chosen vegetables: peel, rinse, dry and cut into julienne.

For the radish, I've opted for the black variety, easier to cut into sticks.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Put the beetroot julienne into a bowl, add a little fine salt and mix.

Leave at room temperature.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Do the same with the other vegetables...

Stage 4 - 1 hour

...each in a separate bowl.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Then drain the vegetables. Now you can mix them together.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Dry in a cloth.

Stage 7 - 2 min.

Mix 300 ml white (spirit) vinegar and 100 ml water in a jug.

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Choose your pickle jar and add 10 black peppercorns and 2 bayleaves.

Stage 9 - 2 min.

Add the vegetables, and add 1 shallot finely sliced, if you wish.

Stage 10 - 2 min.

Top up with the vinegar mix. The vegetables must be completely covered. Then seal the lid.

Leave to stand for 2 weeks.

Stage 11

Your red mixed pickle is ready. The amazing purple-pink colour it started out with will gradually mellow to a duller brick red, but this will not affect the flavour.

Remarks

The recipe is very flexible, so you can adapt it to your taste: the choice of vegetables, their size, the proportion of vinegar to water, etc. Let your imagination get to work with whatever you have to hand.

Keeping

Months in a dark place.
