How to make pickled vegetables?
Brenda Villagomez
Pickling is a food preservation procedure, mainly applied to vegetables and fruits, which consists of immersing them in a solution of salt or vinegar and aromatic herbs. The acidity of this mixture inhibits the development of decomposing microorganisms and gives it a different flavor. In Mexico, this is also known as escabeche. Learn to prepare pickles at home and to use this effective preservation method.

  • Before you start, it is not necessary to buy glass jars; reuse those that contained products like mayonnaise, jams, olives, among others, just make sure to wash and clean them well with water and soap, and sterilize them. Once clean, boil water in a sufficiently deep pot, lower the flame and place the glass jars and their lids (they should not be covered); if necessary, lay them down so they don’t move too much. Keep the jars in the water over low-medium heat for 20 minutes. Make sure the water does not boil with large bubbles to avoid any accidents. After the time has passed, remove them from the water with the help of tongs, drain them on a cotton towel. Then place them in a baking tray and bake at 120 °C for 10 minutes or until the jar is completely dry. Set aside until use.
  • For the base pickling mixture, in a pot place the water along with the vinegar, sugar, salt, herbs, pepper mix, mustard seeds, fennel seeds, and garlic. Let it boil for 2 minutes.
  • Add the potato, carrot, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, and finally the red onion to the pot, let them sit in the water for 1 minute and remove from heat.
  • Let cool completely and place in your glass container.
  • Serve on a small plate and enjoy!
