Author Notes


Pickling is a great way to preserve fresh vegetables and save some of the seasonal goods from the brighter months. They’re a fun way to liven up almost any meal or delicious as part of a mezze. Use fresh veg for the best pickles, the beetroot gives a wonderful colour here. You can also play around with the spices and herbs to suit your taste. —Kali
