Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Carrots
- 250 ml White vinegar
- 250 ml Water
- 15 g Salt
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Bay leaves
- 1 tsp Black peppercorns
- 0.5 tsp Dill seeds
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into matchstick-sized pieces or thin rounds, depending on your preference.
In a medium saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, and salt. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the salt is fully dissolved.
Meanwhile, prepare the pickling jar by adding peeled and slightly crushed garlic cloves, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and dill seeds to the bottom of the jar.
Carefully pack the sliced carrots into the jar, ensuring they are tightly packed but not mashed.
Once the vinegar solution has reached a boil and the salt is dissolved, remove it from the heat and carefully pour it over the carrots in the jar, ensuring all carrots are fully submerged in the brine.
Allow the jar to cool to room temperature, then seal it with a lid and refrigerate. Let the pickled carrots sit for at least 24 hours to develop their full flavor before enjoying.
Store the pickled carrots in the refrigerator for up to a month and enjoy them as a snack, part of a salad, or as an accompaniment to sandwiches and other dishes.
