I pickle lots of stuff.  Sometimes it's very traditional an other times it's a little different.  I like to do curried pickled cauliflower and pearl onions with some arbol peppers to add a little heat.  I'm also a fan of just getting some giardineria or a pickled hot mix from the store and when it's about gone I'll pop a couple hard boiled eggs in there for a week.  Or when the jar of pickles is gone use that or add some different spices to it for a pickling base.  Lots of websites devoted to pickling.

Making your own sauerkraut and kimchi is easy too.

got a batch of red cabbage/sunchoke kraut started last night...

i like doing okra, flat-pod green beans, etc like a kosher dill. not sure where my most fine-tuned version of the recipe is at the moment, though.
approximately equal water & vinegar, salt, a shit-ton of garlic, dill seedheads, a bit of hot pepper, some peppercorns, a few young fresh grape leaves for maximum crunch retention...damn fine.

i likes pickled stuff

Canning a 3-4 quart batch of Jalapenos y zanahorias en escabeche is on deck. Sad thing is, apparently i can't use my enameled cookware on my flat top induction heat range. Guess i'll have to go ahead with buying a 4 quart stainless steel pressure cooker to proceed. This Friday is glorious payday. I'll hit Roses this weekend.

I would tell you guys about the pickled wild mushrooms I picked up yesterday but I'm sure Rager will find something unsavory about that and I'm not in the mood to argue semantics. So instead I'll just post a generic picture of pickled mushrooms.

Those look fantastic.  I find nothing unsavory about them.  Congrats, you win the internet. :o

Did these shitakes last week.  salted, brined, and packed in olive oil with some peppers and oregano.  Should be ready to try this weekend.

Pickled Red Onion Yucatan Style

Take half a kg or more of red onions, cut into thin rings, cover with boiling salted water and strain half a minute later, put into jar and add a brine consisting off 1 part orange juice, 1 part grapefruit juice, 1 part lime juice, 1 part white vinegar, add some whole pepper corns and some Mexican oregano and refrigerate. will keep up to three weeks in the fridge.
