Pickled Vegetables

Mamie Sol's Starters

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 2 celery stalks, cut into sticks
  • 4 carrots, sliced into rounds
  • 2 glasses of white vinegar
  • 2 glasses of water
  • 2 tbsp coarse salt
  • 1 tbsp whole peppercorns

In a large bowl, place the cut vegetables and pour boiling water over them. Leave for 10 minutes, drain and rinse with cold water. In a large glass jar, arrange the vegetables, add the peppercorns, the salt, the 2 glasses of water and the vinegar. Seal the jar tightly and place it in a cool spot to marinate for about ten days.

These are delicious as an accompaniment to a small glass of anisette, arak, bokha... your choice, in moderation.
