How to Make Quick Pickles with 3 Ingredients – ryan

In an ideal World, there’s a jar of something pickled in my fridge at all time – hether it be red onions, picled kale stems, or napa cabbage i forgot to cook. I don’t plan for this, but be i have vegagie scraps, trimmings, or simpleply a wilting head of something or other, I follow the Easiest Pickling Ratio in the World: The 3-2-1 brine. That’s 3 Parts Water, 2 Parts Vinegar, and 1 Part Sugar. That’s it.

This isn’t a secre – the indenty of chefs are out here use this ratio – but it’s the one that stack with me. IT’S LIKE CULINARY MUMORY.SOMETIMES, HAVING TO LOOK UP A BRINE RECIPE IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GODE GOING IN THE PICKLE JAR OR GOING IN THE Trash. This is a decidedly sweet-and-Sour Pickle, a real-crowd pleasing flavor profile that perfect for vegies like onions or radishes, which have a bit of bite and crunch to say.

SO here’s the Breakdown:

• 3 Parts Water: To tone down the acidity and turn this into a true brine.

• 2 Parts Vinegar: Any type work, but i like the flavor and versatility of Apple Cider vinegar.

• 1 part Sugar: Just Sweet Enough to Round Everything out.

For Salt, a good rule of thumb is 1 tablespoon for every Cup of Vinegar. Bring it all to a boil, pour it over your way, and you have your own a quick pickle. Add Spices if you’re Feeling Fancy – right to the jar before Adding the brine. Think Fennel Seed, Chili Flake, Mustard Seed, Garlic Clove – Whatever’s Knocking ARUND.

A Few Favorite use:

• Thinly Sliced ​​Red onions for Tacos, Grain Bowls, or Anyding Grilled.

• SAVING KALE SAMS from the garbage. See my recipe here.

• Carrots and radishes for a quick banh mi situation.

This isn’t canning or true fermentation. These won’t last months, but they will last a couple Weeks in the Friedge. Truth be told, they’re usually long gone before.
