The CookingBites recipe challenge: pickle

[TastyReuben]

One more for consideration:

Beef Rouladen

This is not something I ate growing up, although it would have been welcomed, at least by me.

No, I first encountered this on a long weekend trip to Germany around 1994. Beef, mustard, pickles, with potatoes and gravy…must try it! It did not disappoint.

I didn’t see it again until 2004, having moved back to Ohio, when we attended a new members meeting of the first German heritage club we joined - yup, the club’s “Ladies Auxiliary” served beef rouladen that night. It became a fast favorite of both MrsT’s and mine.

This is a very standard version (I’ve also seen it with horseradish cream in place of the mustard, and sauerkraut in place of the pickles), and it’s still my favorite beef smeared with mustard, topped with bacon, onion, and dill pickles, all rolled up and simmered in gravy.

Has anyone pickled ginger?
It tends to become pink
Red onions sort of bleach and garlic can also take on interesting colours

I posted this last year:

Recipe - Pickled Ginger

I think some trickery is involved to make it look pink.

Yes. The first is very, very fresh ginger, straight from the garden, which will give a pinkish hue.
The second is to tint the vinegar with a slice of raw beetroot.

Never done the second...
I suppose my ginger must have been fresh

Oh boy...if there were ever a challenge to pull me away from the work that's been crushing me, it's this one. At any given moment, I have several pickled things. And, I actually pickled red onions last night ,Unfortunately, I've posted recipes for all of them (pickled vegetables, kimchi, chutney)..

But, I do have something I want to try that I haven't posted. I expect it will be ready before the deadline.

Really have missed seeing you and your contributions as of late, glad you are finding time to visit!

I had a pickled date recipe in mind but bought prunes by mistake...

(They're both pitted...)
