Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium daikon radish
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 medium garlic cloves
Instructions
Peel the daikon radish and slice it into thin matchsticks or rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a medium saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, water, erythritol, and sea salt. Place over medium heat and stir until the erythritol and salt dissolve completely. Do not let the mixture come to a boil.
Add the mustard seeds, black peppercorns, turmeric powder, and peeled garlic cloves to the vinegar mixture. Stir to ensure the spices are well distributed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pickling liquid cool to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
Place the sliced daikon in a clean, sterilized glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Pour the cooled pickling liquid over the daikon slices in the jar, ensuring all pieces are submerged. Use a spoon to press the daikon down if necessary.
Seal the jar with the lid, and gently shake it to distribute the spices evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the daikon to fully absorb the flavors. The daikon will be at its best flavor after 48 hours.
Serve as a side dish or topping on your favorite keto-friendly meals. Store refrigerated and consume within 2 weeks for optimal freshness.
