Asian-Style Rainbow Quick Pickles
Rating (0 Rated)
These beautiful and flavorful quick pickles are super fast to prepare with the use of a kitchen mandolin or food processor but don’t be afraid to prep by hand either. Tangy and slightly sweet, they make a gorgeous accompaniment to sandwiches and grilled foods and get better each day they hang out in the fridge.

Directions

1. Ideally, use a mandolin to evenly and quickly slice all of your veggies into match stick sized pieces. If using red onion, slice into thin half circles.

2. Combine vinegar, sugar and salt and bring to a simmer in a non-reactive pot over moderate heat, stirring only until sugar and salt dissolve. Stir in water, which should bring the mixture’s temperature down significantly. Let cool to lukewarm.

3. Toss cut up vegetables to combine and place in a large glass jar or divide evenly between smaller jars. Pour brine mixture over vegetables and refrigerate until needed. You’ll find the vegetables to be lightly pickled within an hour, and deliciously pickled within a day.
