Acar pickles
Serves 4-6 Sauces and accompaniments
Ingredients
- 400g carrot, cucumber or a mixture of both
- 3 small red Asian shallots, finely sliced
- 1 red bird’s eye chilli, halved and seeded
- 2-3tbsp sugar
- 1tsp salt
- 4tbsp rice or cider vinegar
Method
Peel the carrots and peel and seed the cucumbers. Cut both into thin julienne sticks. Put into a lidded plastic container with the shallots, chilli, sugar and salt.
Shake very well to muddle the vegetables and release the
flavours. Add the vinegar and
mix again. Leave to sit for half an hour or chill for longer. The
vegetables will lose some of their
crunch but will intensify in flavour.
