well it is not a usual vegetable to pickle in your neighborhood but it is a must try let me tell you!
It goes great with coleslaw salad , burgers (especially the chicken ones) , it is amazing with fried chicken ,air-fried for me , deep fried food is not my think!
It goes amazing with that cheese board on your cheese and wine dinner or raclette french parties . My guest usually enjoy it served on the cheese board nest to some pickled olives, dry fruits and some nuts.
It is really easy to do , the secret lay in warm vinegar. So don’t just dump all those seasoning and ingredients in that jar cold. boil those babies!
You can see from the video down here how easy it to do it ! and not o mention the benefits of having fermented food! so why not keep a varieties of them in your fridge to spice up your daily meals and at the same time enjoy the benefits of fermented food !
I live in a warm side of the earth , Dubai (pretty much warm yeah!) for that i keep all my fermented veggies in the fridge to preserve their crunch and taste and keep them way from molding but if you live in places less warm and with cold weather you can keep it in your pantry for sure !
