Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Large turnips
- 1 unit Small beetroot
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 3 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Instructions
Peel the turnips and cut them into wedges or sticks of your desired size for pickling.
Peel the beetroot and slice it into thin rounds.
Peel the garlic cloves and slightly crush them to release their flavor.
In a large saucepan, combine water, vinegar, kosher salt, and sugar. Stir until the salt and sugar dissolve completely to form your brine.
In a sterilized glass jar, begin layering the turnip pieces, beet slices, and garlic cloves. Ensure the layers are packed tightly but not smashed.
Pour the brine into the jar, covering the vegetables completely. If necessary, press the vegetables down gently to keep them submerged.
Seal the jar tightly with its lid and leave it at room temperature for 3 to 5 days. The brine will turn pink as the beetroot colors the turnips.
After 3 to 5 days, taste-test the pickles to see if they've reached your desired level of tanginess. Once ready, transfer the jar to the refrigerator to stop the fermentation process.
Serve your Torshi Lift as a tangy, colorful accompaniment to any meal!
