Vegetables

Olives

Pickling Liquid

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash all vegetables (cucumbers, carrots, radishes, and cauliflower) thoroughly under running water. Peel the carrots and cut all vegetables into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Olives

    If using brined olives, rinse them under cold water to remove excess salt. Otherwise, simply set the olives aside for pickling.

Pickling Liquid

  1. 3

    Make the Pickling Brine

    In a large pot, combine water, white vinegar, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolve completely.

  2. 4

    Add Aromatics

    Once boiling, add garlic cloves, bay leaves, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, and chili flakes to the pot. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 5 minutes.

Pickling Process

  1. 5

    Pack the Jars

    In sterilized glass jars, layer the prepared vegetables and olives. Make sure to pack them tightly but not so much that they get crushed.

  2. 6

    Add the Brine

    Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the packed vegetables and olives, ensuring that they are completely submerged. Leave a little space at the top of the jars.

  3. 7

    Seal and Cool

    Seal the jars tightly with lids. Allow them to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 24 hours before consuming for the flavors to develop.
