Spicy Pickles

Spicy pickles are vegetables or fruits preserved in a vinegar brine with the addition of chilli, pepper or other hot spices. This method of preservation originates from Asian and American cuisine and is now popular worldwide. Cucumbers, jalapeños, radishes and onions are among the most commonly pickled vegetables. Spicy pickles work brilliantly as a side dish for burgers, sandwiches, tacos and grilled dishes, adding acidity, heat and flavour contrast. Thanks to fermentation or the vinegar brine, pickles can also have a beneficial effect on digestion.
