Recipe Pickled Bologna

[Barriehie]

Never enough pickles, bologna, or pickled bologna in this house!

Ingredients

• 10 oz bologna, I used enough links to not have a partial link left in the package.
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp sea salt
• 1 star anise
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp ground mustard
• 1 tsp whole peppercorns, I used white but whatever you've got should work.
• Pinch of annatto powder, for color *optional*
• 1/4 chopped onion
• 1/8 chopped roasted bell pepper, whatever color you like.
• 2 chili's, I used Thai green
• 1 smashed garlic clove
• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of white vinegar

All in the pot and bring to a boil.

Once boiling remove from heat and let cool a bit before jarring.

Best after a several days in the fridge. Awesome with a cold beer on a hot day!

Awesome. This answers the question “does pickling make everything better?” with a definitive “yes”. I’m going to make this one soon.

I used a local smoked bologna but whatever works!

Here’s my interpretation of your recipe:

I didn’t have roasted peppers or fresh onion. I used red onion I had pickled a few days ago. I chose Serrano, because it’s one of my favorites. And, I like using a tea bell because it keeps all the spices together without making a mess. This is a Koegel‘s brand ring bologna.

I didn’t give it nearly enough time before I tried a piece. This was after only a few minutes, and it had already picked up some of the flavor of the brine. Balogna, like sardines, is something I did not respect properly before. But, if you pair the bologna with the right seasoning, you’ve got a party.

Looks good!

Bologna parties are good! I like a spice mess when I shake it and mix it all around.
