Turmeric Ginger Pickled Cauliflower
Turmeric Ginger Pickled Cauliflower is a crunchy golden refrigerator pickle made with cauliflower, ginger, turmeric, garlic, and vinegar.
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, sliced
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 1/2 cups white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
Instructions
- Wash the cauliflower thoroughly, remove the leaves, and cut the head into small bite-sized florets.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, blanch the cauliflower for about one minute, then transfer it immediately into cold water to maintain its crunch.
- Place garlic, ginger slices, turmeric, and mustard seeds into clean glass jars.
- Pack the cauliflower florets into the jars, leaving enough room for the brine to circulate around each piece.
- Heat vinegar, water, salt, and sugar together until the ingredients dissolve into a smooth pickling liquid.
- Pour the warm golden brine over the cauliflower until all florets are covered.
- Cool the jars completely, refrigerate, and wait at least one day before enjoying the full turmeric and ginger flavor.
