This has a mild pickling brine, but it comes with a little kick of spiciness to keep your taste buds interested. It's quick and easy, crisp, tangy, spicy, and delicious. This should last for about 3 to 4 weeks in the fridge.

Time P2DT45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups water
1 cup seasoned rice vinegar (such as Nakano®)
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 (2 pound) cauliflower, cut into florets
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
9 small Thai chile peppers, tops trimmed
6 cloves garlic, peeled
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Combine water, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and turmeric in a saucepan. Simmer over low heat until sugar and salt have dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Place cauliflower florets in a bowl, toss with kosher salt, and set aside for about 30 minutes.
  • Rinse cauliflower and evenly distribute cauliflower florets, chile peppers, garlic cloves, and black peppercorns among 3 pint-sized jars, pressing down so it's tightly packed. Pour brine into the jars, covering the cauliflower.
  • Place the lids on the jars, move them to the refrigerator, and marinate for 2 to 3 days before serving. Flavor will be at its peak in about 1 week.

I found this recipe to be too bland. I think it needs more spices or herbs.

This recipe was easy to follow, but the cauliflower didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I'll try frying the cauliflower before pickling it next time.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili flakes if you don't like spicy food.

This recipe is easy to follow and the results are delicious. I made a few changes, like using white vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar, and it turned out great.

I love the combination of flavors in this recipe. The cauliflower is spicy, sweet, and sour all at the same time. I served it as an appetizer at a party, and it was a huge hit.

I've made this recipe a few times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The cauliflower is so flavorful and addictive, and the pickling liquid is great for marinating other vegetables or meats.

This pickled cauliflower recipe is a winner! The cauliflower florets were crisp and tender, and the pickling liquid had the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. I served it as a side dish with grilled chicken and roasted vegetables, and
