Homemade naturally fermented radish pickle recipe
So, it's the season for fresh veggies to really start flooding the market here in Ontario. One of the earliest veggies we get is radishes! Now, my hubby absolutely loves pickling. He did a lot of pickling of things at the restaurant, and we have homemade pickles of every stripe at home. These naturally fermented radish pickles are amazingly delicious. We put them on sandwiches, on burgers, chopped up in salads, and on a cheese tray next to cheeses and charcuterie.
Also, as they ferment, the bright red pigment in the skin diffuses through the whole jar and the radishes pickles come out neon pink after a couple weeks!
Just make sure you're getting local radishes, or at least radishes that haven't been irradiated. Irradiation kills the microbes and lactobacilli that make the pickling process possible.
