Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
This Malaysian-style mixed vegetable pickle is made with a rempah, or spice paste, stirred into the brine for an extra boost of flavor and texture. Created by cookbook author Karen Solomon (Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It).
I first heard about these Vietnamese daikon and carrot pickles a couple years ago while partaking in my first delicious Banh Mi sandwich experience. There was something about the sweet and sour taste, the cold, crunchy texture, and the vibrant color.
This pate packs a punch of flavor. A simple and satisfying sandwich stuffer. This is the perfect addition to crisp baguette and a side of pickled cucumbers.
These pickles are traditionally served on Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches. They're a little like bread and butter pickles, though crispier, not as sweet, and with a slight radish taste from the daikon.
