Recipe Garlic & Ginger Pickle

[karadekoolaid]

Ingredients:
250 gms fresh green chiles (jalapeños, serranos, Thai, etc), stems removed
250 gms fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
100 gms fresh garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
2 tbsps salt
2 1/2 tsps turmeric
1 Tbsp fennel seed, ground
2 tbsps black mustard seeds, ground
150 mls mustard oil (or vegetable oil)
150 mls spirit vinegar
150 mls lemon (or lime) juice
2 tsps brown sugar

Method:

• Place the chiles, ginger and garlic in a food processor and process until finely chopped.
• Heat the oil in a large pan and add the turmeric, fennel seed and mustard. Stir two or three times until the aroma of the spices is evident.
• Now add all the remaining ingredients and stir well. Lower the heat and cook for about 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture has reduced and thickened.
• Spoon into sterilised jars, seal and store.
• The pickle should mature within a month, but will keep for years.

As I said, it's a bit of a faf to make, but a little goes a long way. Even a chilehead like me would not think of plastering my hot dog with that!

That might be a challenge
I'll see if I can get fennel seed and lemons.
If not, I figure more vinegar and maybe star anise? Do you think that would work?

Usually pickles made from garlic are less welcome
Because many people do not like the smell of garlic and the mouth smells bad
But when garlic is cooked or mixed with vinegar and left in vinegar for a long time, it loses its bad smell.
