Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the cucumbers, carrots, and cauliflower thoroughly. Cut the cucumbers into spears or slices, and the carrots into thin rounds.

  2. 2

    Make the Brine

    In a saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, salt, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, and chili flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from heat and let it cool.

  3. 3

    Pack the Jars

    In sterilized jars, layer the cucumbers, carrots, cauliflower, smashed garlic cloves, and fresh dill. Pour the cooled brine over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged.

  4. 4

    Seal and Store

    Seal the jars tightly and store them in the refrigerator. Let the pickles marinate for at least 3 days before consuming for the best flavor.
