Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Carrot
- 1 medium-sized Cucumber
- 1 medium Red Bell Pepper
- 1 small Red Chili
- 1 cup White Vinegar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly.
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin matchstick-sized strips.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Core and thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips.
Finely slice the red chili (remove seeds if you prefer less heat).
In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt completely. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a clean, heat-safe jar or bowl, layer the prepared vegetables (carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, and chili).
Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged. Press down gently with a spoon if needed.
Let the pickles cool to room temperature. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro on top before serving, or just before storing.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
