Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 250 milliliters white vinegar
- 250 milliliters water
- 50 grams sugar
- 15 grams salt
- 2 units garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon dill seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Slice them into thin sticks, about 5 cm (2 inches) in length.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt.
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a clean 1-liter glass jar, layer the carrot sticks, garlic slices, black peppercorns, dill seeds, and red pepper flakes.
Carefully pour the hot vinegar mixture over the layered ingredients in the jar, ensuring the carrots are completely submerged.
Let the jar cool to room temperature, then seal with a lid and refrigerate.
Allow the carrots to pickle for at least 24 hours before serving for the best flavor.
Store the pickled carrots in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
