Quick Pickled Chilli Recipe

Makes 300g

Active time: 10 minutes

Total time: 24 hours

Ingredients

300g green or red chilies, sliced

125ml white wine vinegar

250ml water

1 tbsp kosher salt

1 tsp granulated sugar

3 garlic cloves, peeled (optional)

1 tsp cumin seeds (optional)

Method

Step 1: In a non-reactive saucepan over medium heat, combine the vinegar, water, sugar and salt, and stir until everything is dissolved. Increase heat to high, bring to a boil then immediately remove from the heat.

Step 2: Thoroughly wash and dry a 500 ml glass jar with an air-tight lid.

Tip: Always use glass when pickling, as metal or plastic containers will affect the taste.

Step 3: Lightly crush the cumin seeds and place in the bottom of the jar along with the garlic if using.

Step 4: Tightly pack the prepared chilies into the jar and pour over the hot pickling brine. Tap and shake gently to disrupt any air pockets, then secure the jar with a tight fitting lid.

Step 5: Set aside to cool before storing in the fridge. Then enjoy in salads, sandwiches, add to dressings and sauces, or top pizzas and flatbreads for a spicy kick!
