If you enjoy vegetable pickles, don’t get discouraged because it is not spring or summer. There are many vegetables you can pickle, one being cucumbers and carrots. Hopefully, we can share those recipes with you very soon.
There are two parts to this recipe. The first part is a basic recipe you can make with what you already have in your pantry. The second part of the recipe is a substitution. Use Noubess Steak Seasoning, Salt-Free as aromatic.
Steak Seasoning
I used steak seasoning because of its versatility. It is also an excellent way to create more ways to flavor your pickles.
Ingredients needed and how to make Pickled Radishes
- Radishes: usually sold as a bunch or in plastic bag or plastic containers. Radishes are a great source of antioxidants and contains tons of vitamins.
- Water: room temperature water is always good.
- White vinegar: yes, white vinegar preferably.
- White wine vinegar: yes, there is a difference. White wine vinergar is white wine that had been fermented. You can substitute it with champage vinegar or rice vinegar.
- Sugar: white sugar or organic sugar.
- Salt: best to use sea salt or Himalayan sald or pink salt.
- Use aromatics grains or spices such as red pepper flakes, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, or coriander seeds. You can add fresh garlic cloves also.
- Use aromatic herbs such as dill, thyme, parsley, or bay leaf (2 – 2 leaves should be enough)
- Or 2 tablespoons of Noubess Seasoning, Salt-Free to as aromatics.
To make the pickles you will need the following:
- Sanitized mason jar: a jar with airtigh cover is perfect. Check out this Amzaon link for ideas.
- Sharp knife; a paring knife is better to slice off the top and bottom of the radishes
- Vinegar to watch vegetables: I usually keep a spray bottle filled with vinegar on my counter to clean vegetables and for other cleaning purposes.
- Paper towels: to remove any excess water before slicing the radishes.
- Cutting board: good to use to stabalize the raddishes while slicing them thinly. You can also use a mandoline if you have one.
- Bowl: always good to have nearby to place the radishes slices
- In a saucepan, add the water, vinegars, sugar and salt to a boil. Add your aromatics or seasonings (grains or pepper flakes) and remove the saucepan from the heat
- Cover and let the aromatics grains (not the herbs) infuse the water while preparing the radishes.
- Cut both ends of the radishes and wash with vinegar and water.
- Dry with paper towels and slice thin either with a pairing knife or use a mandoline to slice.
- Place the thin radishes inside the jars and add the aromatic herbs.
- Pour the water and vinegar mixture into the jar to cover the radishes and close the lid.
- Turn the jars upside down a few times to prepare for marination. Let the jar cook completely before placing it in the refrigerator.
- Let the radishes marinade for a few days (about 5-7 days) before enjoying.
Tips and Notes
- A rule of thumb is to always use a clean spoon for your condiments such as pickles, hot sauce, wet spices, jam and chutneys.
- Always use a sanitize glass jar to store your pickles
- Shake the jar a few times while in the refrigeraor and marinating.
- Always put the jar in the fridge after use. Do not leave uncovered for a long period of time, otherwise it will lose its flavor very quickly.
- Use other types of seasoning blends to flavor the pickled radishes.
