Quick Garlicky Pickles |
As a shareholder in Angelic Organics, a great Chicago-area CSA, there are weeks where I just have too much of a particular item that I just won’t get to. Since I love pickles, and loathe throwing anything out, finding a way to preserve these leftovers was ideal. Giving them a big garlicky flavor is a super bonus.
Making quick pickles at home is really easy to do. Since I don’t plan on keeping them in long-term storage, I don’t worry with all of the cumbersome rules around ordinary canning. I’m just making a good brine to soak some vegetables in for a few days. These garlic pickles are usually gone within a week or two.
Some of my favorite non-cucumber things to pickle: Beets, Kohlrabi, Carrots, Turnips, Jicama, Celery, Garlic, Pearl Onions, Peppers.
