Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium bulbs kohlrabi
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 2 dill sprigs
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
Instructions
Peel the kohlrabi bulbs and slice them into thin matchsticks or small wedges, depending on your preference.
In a medium saucepan, combine water, white vinegar, sugar, and kosher salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Once dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the brine cool slightly.
Divide the sliced kohlrabi evenly among two sterilized pint-sized jars.
Add one garlic clove, 0.5 teaspoon mustard seeds, a sprig of dill, and a pinch of red chili flakes to each jar for flavoring.
Carefully pour the warm brine over the kohlrabi in each jar, ensuring the slices are fully submerged. Leave about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
Seal the jars tightly with lids and let them cool to room temperature before transferring them to the refrigerator.
Allow the kohlrabi to pickle for at least 24 hours before consuming, though the flavor will deepen the longer it sits. Consume within 2–3 weeks for best quality.
