Time 30m

Yield 39

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups distilled white vinegar
4 cups water
½ cup sea salt
1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
3 hot chile peppers, sliced lengthwise
3 cloves garlic, minced, divided
1 tablespoon mustard seed, divided
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, divided
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, divided
1 tablespoon dill seeds, divided
1 tablespoon allspice berries, divided
1 ½ teaspoons red pepper flakes, divided
3 bay leaves
3 1-quart canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, water, and salt together in a pot; bring to a simmer.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack each jar 1/3 the cauliflower, 1 hot pepper, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon mustard seed, 1 teaspoon peppercorns, 1 teaspoon coriander seed, 1 teaspoon dill seed, 1 teaspoon allspice berries, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1 bay leaf. Pour vinegar mixture into the jars, filling to within 1/2-inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

PICKLED CAULIFLOWER WITH HOT PEPPER AND CUMIN



Pickled Cauliflower With Hot Pepper and Cumin image

When I first prepared the cauliflower, it didn't do much for me for the first few days. Then I went away for a week, and when I came back and tasted the thinly sliced pickled cauliflower, now nicely infused with the slightly piquant brine, I loved it. Make sure to slice the cauliflower very thin - less than 1/4 inch thick, close to 1/8 inch thick.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups very thinly sliced cauliflower florets
1 small dried red chili pepper
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted

1/2 cup (135 grams) seasoned rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon (15 grams) sherry vinegar
1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
1 cup (230 grams) water
2 1/4 teaspoons (10 grams) kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place the thinly sliced cauliflower in a bowl with the chili, the cumin seeds and optional ginger.
  • In a large bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, sherry vinegar and sugar. Bring the water to a boil, remove from the heat and add to the vinegar and sugar mixture. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the salt and stir well. Pour over the cauliflower and spices, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 week before eating and for up to 3 weeks. Shake the jar from time to time or, if you use a bowl, place a saucer on top of the cauliflower to keep it submerged. Remove from the brine with a slotted spoon to serve.
