Mixed Vegetable Pickles:

Glass Jars (medium size)

Mixed organic vegetables(cucumbers, carrots, cauliflowers, cabbage…).

Organic white grape vinegar

Organic garlic (peeled)

Organic chili pepper (fresh)

Olive oil

Water

Bay leaves

Dill (fresh)

Himalayan salt (coarse)

Black Pepper (whole)

Method:

  1. Boil water, as much as needed depending on the size and number of the jars. Always add a bit more than expected.
  2. Turn off the heat.  Dissolve the salt in the boiled water and let it cool (2 tablespoons for each 1.5 L)
  3. Wash the vegetables and cut them as desired.
  4. Put in each jar: 4 peppercorns (whole), 2 garlic cloves (peeled), 1 chili pepper (or more if you like it spicy), a piece of dill (fresh).
