Wine Pairing
You must try this pickled radish recipe and use at your next family meal as a tasty side dish. A delicious and spicy pickled recipe that is well-paired with many heavy meat dishes.
Pickling is another form of preserving fruits and vegetables, but usually vegetables. The process extends the shelf life of food by fermentation in brine or immersing the vegetables in a vinegar solution. Pickled herbs can be roasted and ground up for an easy ground spice dip. Leftover lemons can be brined in a sugar and vinegar solution and used as a sweet and sour condiment.
The rule of thumb when it comes to pickling is a 60% vinegar, 40% water solution. Spices can be added to develop a more profound flavor. A wide variety of spices can be added from cumin to juniper berries. For the best result, let your new pickles sit for 3 to 5 days before eating. The waiting period allows the flavor and fermentation to enhance the flavor of the vegetables you are pickling.
You can use the pickled recipe to create delicious pickled red onions, watermelon rinds, mangoes, and a lot more.
You can use a mandolin to thinly slice the radishes, but a sharp knife will work just fine also. This pickled radish recipe is a perfect addition to your vegetable salad as a spiced condiment. It also works well in a charcuterie or cheese board.
