These colourful pickles lend a sharp accent as a garnish or as part of an antipasto plate or pickle tray. If desired, drizzle with a little fragrant extra-virgin olive oil.

Ingredients

1 small head cauliflower, cut in bite-size florets
4 carrots, cut in bite-size chunks
4 tsp  (20 mL)  salt
24 pearl onions (or 12 cipollini onions)
1 small sweet red pepper
2 cups  (500 mL)  white wine vinegar
1/3 cup  (75 mL)  granulated sugar
2 tsp  (10 mL)  dried oregano
1 tsp  (5 mL)  peppercorns
2 dried hot peppers, broken in half
2 clove garlic, minced

Preparation

Place cauliflower and carrots in bowl; toss with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the salt. Let sit for 2 hours, tossing occasionally. Drain in colander; rinse quickly with cold water. Let drain.

Meanwhile, in saucepan of boiling water, blanch onions for 2 minutes. Drain and peel. Quarter pepper lengthwise; core and halve each piece crosswise and slice thickly.

Mix together vinegar, sugar, remaining salt and 1-1/2 cup (375 mL) water until dissolved; add oregano, peppercorns, hot peppers and garlic. Place vegetables in 8-cup (2 L) jar or divide among two 4-cup (1 L) jars, pressing down to pack. Pour in enough vinegar mixture to cover vegetables. Seal jar; refrigerate and marinate for 1 day before eating. Refrigerate for up to 10 days.

Makes 7 cups (1.75 L).
