Quick Pickled Carrots With Chiles And Cumin Recipes

Steps:

• Peel 1kg carrots and cut into sticks or slices. Boil in generously salted water for 2 mins until just starting to soften, then drain.
• To make the pickling vinegar, put the whole spices in a medium saucepan. Toast over a low heat until they begin to smell aromatic. Add the dried chilli flakes last, as these can easily catch. Add the bay, turmeric and garlic cloves, pour in all of the vinegar and sugar, let it dissolve, and bring to a simmer.
• Pack the carrots into the jars, adding 1 tsp coarse crystal sea salt to each, cover with the hot vinegar and seal. Ready to eat in 2 weeks, or longer, if you like.

Steps:

• Cook carrots in a pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes; drain and place in a heatproof shallow container.
• In a small saucepan, combine shallot, chiles, apple-cider vinegar, 1/4 cup water, sugar, cumin, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar and salt have dissolved.
• Pour brine over carrots to cover. Let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to 5 days. Remove from brine to serve.

Steps:

• Place carrots in a heatproof resealable container or jar. Combine vinegar, sugar, salt, peppercorns, mustard seeds, and 1/2 cup water in a small pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Immediately pour over carrots. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients; toss thoroughly.
• Transfer mixture to a clean jar; it is ready to eat right away. Pickles keep at room temperature for 1 week, or refrigerated for 2 weeks.
