Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumber
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 large carrot
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the vegetables (cucumbers, bell peppers, red onion, and carrot).
Dice the cucumbers, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion into small, even pieces (approximately 1/4-inch cubes).
Grate the carrot using a box grater or food processor. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large bowl, combine all the prepared vegetables and garlic. Sprinkle with the kosher salt and toss to combine. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
After 10 minutes, drain any liquid that has accumulated in the bowl and gently press down on the vegetables to remove additional moisture.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, granulated sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, black pepper, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Once the vinegar mixture is ready, pour it over the vegetable mix in the bowl. Stir well to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer it into clean, airtight jars or containers.
Seal the jars and refrigerate the relish for at least 24 hours to let the flavors develop. Shake or stir occasionally to redistribute the brine.
Store the refrigerator relish in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. Use it on sandwiches, burgers, or as a side dish with your favorite meals.
