Pickled cauliflower brings back so many memories of my childhood. I remember walking into the Middle Eastern market stores and getting hit with the amazing smell of the garlic and spices. Of course, as an adult I love all things pickled. The only problem with these is that you don’t know when to stop eating them! They’re absolutely addictive!

 Ingredients 

  • 1 cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 medium raw beet, quartered and sliced 
  • 4-6 cloves of garlic, peeled

 

For the pickling liquid:

  • 5 cups boiling water
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 2-3 tablespoons salt

 

  1. Mix the pickling liquid until salt is completely dissolved.
  2. In large heat-proof jars, layer the cauliflower, beets, and garlic until the jars are packed, then pour the pickling liquid over it and seal. 
  3. Leave on the counter overnight, then refrigerate. The pickles will be ready after 3-4 days.
