Pickled Cauliflower
Homemade pickles are one of my favorite snacks. I’ve been caught more than once standing in the kitchen with the refrigerator open eating Lindsay’s dilly beans straight out of the jar! Lucky for me, Portland is bursting with hip restaurants serving up every variety of pickled delicacy. My love for pickles has recently made its way to my own kitchen. So far, I’ve tried my hand at pickled onions, pickled blackberries and even kimchi. My newest pickling experience involves cauliflower. I can’t wait to add it to the epic charcuterie board my boyfriend James and I love putting together as a special treat.

- In a medium saucepan, add a coriander, mustard and cumin seeds and toast, until seeds are fragrant and slightly browned (about 2 minutes). Next add in the vinegar, garlic, ginger, onion, sugar, salt, peppercorns, turmeric, red pepper flakes and 1 cup of water to the toasted spices. Bring to a boil and then pour the hot liquid over the vegetables (add a little more water and vinegar if you need a little more liquid to fill the jars completely).

- Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 days before tasting. Will last up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
