[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Pizza, pasta, prosciutto \u2013 we all know the heavyweights of Italian cuisine. But how about Italy\u2019s most prominent pickle?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

La giardiniera<\/span><\/i> has been a sustainable pantry staple for nonnas up and down the peninsula for generations. Originating from the northern Po Valley, <\/span>giardiniera<\/span><\/i> was all about locking in the incredible flavour of excess seasonal veg at peak deliciousness so they could be enjoyed year-round.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So what\u2019s to love? It\u2019s textural, it\u2019s vibrant and it\u2019s a riot of flavour. Thanks to its punchy acidity, a good <\/span>giardiniera<\/span><\/i> stands up to richer, more robust flavour profiles \u2013 so why not go <\/span>all\u2019italiana<\/span><\/i> and pair your pickle with meat, fish and salami, or go Chicago-style and throw it into a sandwich.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Making a giardiniera couldn\u2019t be simpler \u2013 and it\u2019s the perfect activity for two or to do with kids. It\u2019s fully customisable so choose your favourite veg or chop whatever you\u2019ve got hiding in the fridge.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/b><\/p>\n

250g assorted veg (cauliflower, carrots, courgettes, peppers, radishes, peas)<\/span><\/p>\n

2L sterilised jar<\/span><\/p>\n

Pickle brine\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

500ml white wine vinegar<\/span><\/p>\n

500ml water<\/span><\/p>\n

2 tbsp sugar<\/span><\/p>\n

2 tbsp salt<\/span><\/p>\n

1 tsp chilli flakes<\/span><\/p>\n

1 bay leaf<\/span><\/p>\n

1 tsp black peppercorns<\/span><\/p>\n

1 tsp fennel seeds<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1: <\/b>Combine your brine ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and allow to cool slightly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2: <\/b>Wash your veg, chop them into bite sized pieces and add to your sterilised jar. Pour over the warm pickle brine and close the lid. Leave to cool before putting them in the fridge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your giardiniera will be ready to eat once cool but it\u2019s best left for 24 hours before serving. It\u2019ll keep in the fridge for 3-4 weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
