Pickled Broccoli – Barefeet within the Kitchen

Stuffed with toasted sesame taste, tangy, and crisp-tender, candy and savory pickled broccoli is unexpectedly fantastic. Very like bread and butter pickles in style, these brined, thinly sliced broccoli stems are nice on salads, sandwiches, and cheese boards.

Pickled Broccoli

Are you able to pickle broccoli? Oh, completely!

I do know plenty of people don’t know what to do with broccoli stems and so they typically get tossed into the rubbish or compost, however I’m right here to inform you that you want to pickle them! They carry a lot oomph and pizzazz to your meals day.

They usually’re funds pleasant, too. You possibly can have your Oven Roasted Broccoli one evening for dinner and pickle up the stems for later use in salads or snacking. Future you’ll be grateful – I can assure it!

Pickled Broccoli Stems

These fast pickled stems solely require the next elements:

• broccoli stems
• sugar
• rice wine vinegar
• lime juice
• sesame oil
• garlic

You need to peel the surface of the broccoli stems and lower away any woody ends earlier than slicing it. After peeling, use a mandoline, sharp knife, or vegetable peeler to slice the broccoli very thinly.

Place the sliced broccoli stems in a heat-proof quart-size jar, or (2) 16-ounce jars. In a small stainless saucepan, mix the sugar, vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, and garlic. Deliver to a boil over medium warmth.

Stir till the sugar utterly dissolves. That may take nearly 2 minutes.

Pour the new brine over the broccoli stems, then put aside to chill. Cowl and refrigerate for at the least 1 hour.

The pickled stalks will hold properly within the fridge for as much as 1 week. It’s possible you’ll end up opening the fridge simply to sneak a pair pickles!
